Wednesday, April 24, 2013 The Hamilton County, Tn Grand Jury is recommending that possession of a small amount of marijuana be legalized in Tennessee. The panel said in a final report to Judge Rebecca Stern, "In order to reduce the number of cases heard by the Grand Jury, and reduce the number of cases proceeding to Criminal Court, the State Legislature should consider legalizing the possession of a small amount of marijuana, which is not packaged for resale." The Grand Jury, headed by Robert Smith, also said work needs to start now on replacing the County Jail on Walnut Street. The panel said the jail is outmoded and difficult to operate.
