WEED: There Were More Arrests for Marijuana Possession than For All Violent Crimes
According to crime data, in 2016 more people were arrested for marijuana possession than for all crimes the FBI classifies as violent.
Marijuana possession remains one of the single largest arrest categories in the United States, accounting for over 5 percent of all arrests last year.
More than one in 20 arrests involved a marijuana possession charge, which ends up being more than one marijuana possession arrest every minute in the US.
