HARWELL, Justice:

The question is whether the circuit judge erred in striking a city ordinance that imposed a mandatory thirty day sentence on any person found to be knowingly in possession of less than twenty-eight grams of marijuana or ten grams of hashish on the grounds that the ordinance was unconstitutional and that it conflicted with state law.
