Laws Revised

In 1982, the legislature passed a bill, S.B. 190, which made many changes to Alaska's drug laws. It criminalized the possession of four or more ounces of marijuana, making it a class B misdemeanor. Through S.B. 190, the legislature clarified the Ravin decision by defining the amount of marijuana that is "indicative of intent to sell" at four ounces. Governor Jay S. Hammond signed S.B. 190 into law on May 20, 1982.
