is marijuana legal in new orleans
Badon hails from New Orleans, where a city ordinance passed in December 2010 makes marijuana possession a municipal offense. This doesn't jive with current state law, under which pot smokers can find themselves jailed for six months on a first offense. A second offender can be sentenced up to five years and face up to a $2,500 fine, and anyone convicted three or more times is open to a 20-year jail sentence and up to a $5,000 fine.
