Description
The defendant was charged with possession of onehalf pound or more of mixtures or substances containing cannabis in violation
of section 28-472.03, R. S. Supp., 1969. The trial court sustained a motion to quash the information on the ground that the
law was unconstitutional, and ordered the defendant discharged. The State then obtained leave to docket error proceedings
under section 29-2315.01, R. R. S. 1943, to review the order of the district court. Prior to 1969, cannabis was defined as a narcotic drug, and unlawful possession of cannabis was a felony punishable under
section 28-470, R. R. S. 1943. In 1969, the Legislature enacted L.B. 2 (Laws 1969, c. 197, p. 793) which related specifically
to cannabis and its resin. Unlawful possession of less than a specified amount of cannabis was made a misdemeanor. §
28-472.04, R. S. Supp., 1969. The act further provided that the penalties provided in sections 28-472.03 and 28-472.04 were
to be applicable to all violations of the act and all charges pending on April 11, 1969. 28-472.05, R. S. Supp.,
1969.
