What a way to celebrate the 420 Holiday in Chicago, huh?

Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez will conduct a news conference to announce additional reform to the weed laws.

Her announcement falls on April 20th, which is considered by many as National Weed Day. Sounds like the perfect time to make such and announcement, but spokeswoman Sally Daly called it “pure coincidence.”

To sum up the latest reform, the States Attorney will no longer prosecute cases where people are caught with misdemeanor amounts of weed. Instead they will seek help for repeat, nonviolent offenders.
