Groups in Georgia have been campaigning for lesser sentences for using soft drugs like cannabis. A legalize marijuana march is held every year on June 2.
Parliament dithered on the issue earlier this year when discussing a proposal proposed by a pop singer turned member of parliament. The bill is still in committees.
