Kenney argued that marijuana arrests <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Boots-Sale>Michael Kors Hamilton</a>  were unfairly impacting African Americans Philadelphia police arrested 4,336 people for marijuana possession last year, 83 percent of them black while wasting valuable police time.Nutter, declining to immediately sign the legislation, said it was simplistic and did not do enough to address other issues raised by the drug's use.Council's summer break gave the mayor extra time to consider whether he would sign the measure. But this week, with the deadline for his signature approaching, Kenney's office and the administration have been meeting to hammer out a compromise.Nutter said Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey, who had been a critic of the original bill, was part of the discussions that led to the compromise.Ramsey said Monday that he has been assured by the city's law department that the city has the ability to enact its own statute treating possession of marijuana as a noncriminal offense. Possession remains a criminal offense <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Promo-Code>Michael Kors Hamilton</a>  under state law.The chief change in the compromise bill is the additional charge of public smoking of the drug. Nutter had been concerned that under the original bill police would have little ability to stop public use of the drug, and that would send a message that drug use was acceptable behavior.A new bill, reflecting the compromise <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Outlet-Store>Tory Burch Outlet Store</a>  between Kenney and the mayor, is to be introduced Thursday when Council returns from its summer break. Assuming it is passed by Council and signed by the mayor, the compromise bill could become law Oct. 20.The deal paves the way for Philadelphia to join a trend. To date, 21 states and the District of Columbia have enacted measures legalizing some form of marijuana use, according to Governing magazine, which tracks laws.Colorado and Washington state have legalized recreational use, while the others allow pot for medical reasons. New Jersey permits medical-marijuana use. Pennsylvania's is one of several state legislatures with measures pending that would legalize marijuana. Copyright 2014,
