A Regrettable Milestone
Submitted on July 20, 2006 - 9:34am.
Via DRCNet: On July 20, 1995 -- eleven years ago today -- the total number of marijuana arrests since 1965 passed the 10 million mark, according to an estimate by NORML.
Since 1995, more than seven million more people have been arrested, for a total of more than seventeen million people arrested for marijuana offenses since 1965.
For over thirty years, we've been arresting millions of people for marijuana, but it hasn't done a thing to prevent marijuana use or eliminate the criminal market for marijuana. Isn't it time we stopped pursuing the same failures over and over again? Before we get to twenty million?
Please help us pass the initiative to tax and regulate marijuana. Register to vote, volunteer, donate.
