About How Many People Are Arrested on Marajuana Charges Each Year?

Question by Ithilrien F: About how many people are arrested on marajuana charges each year?

Good luck finding anything official. I found a CBS article that claimed 734,000 Americans were “arrested” in 2001 for marijuana. You can find all kinds of numbers from other sources and the FBI doesn’t print totals in it UCR for drug arrests, just percentages by region.

I have arrested in parenthesis because many people just receive a citation for small amounts. Many of these cite and release encounters get reported as arrests because of the nature of the paperwork that is done by the charging agency.

However, as I have learned more, I have to understand that what my family and I experience is part of a growing and troubling trend where law enforcement is relying on SWAT teams to perform duties once handled by ordinary police officers.”—Maryland Mayor Cheye Calvo in testimony before the Maryland Senate
