First Slice: Atlanta decriminalizes weed
Plus: RIP Tom Petty
That's weed-erful: The vote to decriminalize marijuana in Atlanta passed unanimously yesterday anyone caught with less than an ounce will receive a $75 fine and no jail time.
Plus: City Council also voted unanimously to direct funds from the $51 million Homeless Opportunity Project to help homeless LGBTQ teens.
I guess we were all going to die anyway, but damn: If you get your health insurance through the exchange, you're probably going to be paying more next year.

Cheers to the guy who helps us remember what a graceful leader looks like: Pete Souza, chief official White House photographer for the Obama administration and master of Instagram shade, is in town today for the Atlanta Celebrates Photography lecture series.
Heartbreaking: RIP Tom Petty.
