Contributing sentiments towards policy:
49% : But they're all lumped together -- by law, regulation, licensing requirement, insurance considerations, custom or just plain ignorance.45% : Even if it didn't, hundreds of thousands of Californians who were arrested for possession of marijuana, which is now legal in this state, or small quantities of other substances that are still forbidden, were convicted of felony charges.
34% : Possession of illegal drugs in small amounts is a misdemeanor in California and could theoretically land a person in county jail for six months.
