Mr. Kellen Russoniello:

That is correct. Cannabis laws remain as they were. Possession of any of the other controlled substances is now a misdemeanour offence, punishable by up to six months in jail. The new law envisions counties creating their own types of diversion programmes. However, it is still very much up in the air what those diversion programmes will look like, which counties will have them and how it will all play out. There is definitely the risk of jail for all possession now.
