“It goes in the category of parking tickets; not even a petty offense" - Criminal Court Judge Bolan

Rahm says pot plan isn’t ‘decriminalization’ — ex-federal drug czar disagrees - Chicago Sun-Times

Former Criminal Court Judge Michael Bolan said he used to have to waste too much time and resources on cases involving small amounts of drugs and the cases often were tossed. “This is an absolute waste of our taxpayers’ money: You criminalize a whole segment of our society unnecessarily, same as at the turn of the century for alcohol,” Bolan said. “It goes in the category of parking tickets. It’s quasi-criminal. This is not even a petty offense. He doesn’t want that word [decriminalize] attached to it. He’s looking to save money and make money.”
