By CHRIS PARKS
City Council passed into law by a 6-5 vote last night an
ordinance making the possession of marijuana in the city
a misdemeanor,
The ordinance has no effect, however, on present state
law under which possession of marijuana is a felony punish-
able by up to 10 years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines.
A person convicted under the new city ordinance would
be liable to a maximum $100 fine and 90 days in pail.
The city law and state law are both valid in Ann Arbor
leaving the authorities open to choose between them on an
individual case basis.
The determination whether to prosecute under state law
or city ordinance rests with county
prosecutor according to City At-
torney Jerold Lax. Lax said last
night that in the event that the
prosecutor was unwilling to use
the new law other arrangements
ltegotiatemight be sought.
