Sept. 17 (UPI) -- New Hampshire officially decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana Saturday, becoming the 22nd state in the country to stop making small amounts of the drug a criminal offense.
People caught with up to 21 grams of marijuana will not face arrest or criminal charges under the new New Hampshire law, but they will be subject to a civil violation and a fine of up to $100 for their first and second offenses and $300 for a third offense.
