As far as its marijuana laws are concerned, that is.

A city panel recommended on Wednesday that Denver lower its penalty for marijuana possession by adults to just $1. The fine currently sits at $50. The state also mandates an additional $100 surcharge and an additional $10 fee.

“The panel was created by Mayor John Hickenlooper in December 2007 after voters passed an ordinance that made it so adult marijuana possession is the city’s ‘lowest law enforcement priority,’” noted Colorado’s NBC 9News.

The panel voted 6-2 to recommend the fee change, according to The Denver Post.

The $1 fine still requires approval by a Denver judge. Even if the judge agrees, the total penalty for marijuana possession will still stand at $111.
