Borgm�staren i Chicago st�djer ett f�rslag p� att innehav och bruk av marijuana ska avkriminaliseras. Ist�llet f�r att �tala marijuanar�kare b�r de b�tf�llas. Redan idag s� l�ggs 99% av �talen mot marijuanar�kare ner och borgm�stare Daley anser att det d�rf�r inte �r n�gon ide att arrestera marijuanar�karna.
Daley menar dock att den f�reslagna f�r�ndringen inte inneb�r att marijuana avkriminaliseras, "It�s decriminalized now" s�ger han. "They throw all the cases out. It doesn�t mean anything. You just show up to court. Another case goes out. That�s all it is. There�s nothing there. They don�t even show up � the offenders. It doesn�t mean anything."
"Sometimes, a fine is worse than being thrown out of court. Thrown out of court means nothing. Maybe they don�t even have to show up. Many times, the offenders don�t even show up anyways. That�s what we have to look at."
Chicago �r USA's tredje st�rsta stad.
