AI Summary

This bill decriminalizes the possession of certain amounts of marijuana in Tennessee. It defines a "personal-use quantity of marijuana" as one ounce or less, five grams or less of marijuana resin or concentrates, and infused products with 1,000 milligrams or less of THC. Possession of these personal-use quantities would be a civil violation punishable by a $25 fine or community service, rather than a criminal offense. The bill also places restrictions on how law enforcement can use the odor of marijuana as a basis for search and seizure, and prohibits certain adverse actions against individuals based solely on the detection of marijuana metabolites.
