Voters in the city of Columbia might have decided to decriminalize marijuana, but the police department at the University of Missouri says students better not think they can get away with very much. The new city ordinance says a person caught with 35 grams of marijuana or less will be referred to the city court so no state criminal record is established. The ordinance applies to Columbia police. But the University of Missouri has its own police force. And the head of the university police department says somebody who is caught with small amounts of grass more than once will be sent to the county prosecutor for state charges. And the prosecutor says he’s likely to prosecute repeat offenders.
