Getting busted for having an ounce or less of marijuana in California is no longer that big a deal, or even a crime, under a new law signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

With everything else on his plate â a big budget deal, a landmark health insurance exchange â what might have motivated Schwarzenegger to decriminalize marijuana now?
