June 26, 2020 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

More than a thousand marijuana-related convictions dating back as far as 1969 may soon be thrown out in Santa Cruz County.

Having a pound of marijuana wouldn’t get you arrested in New Jersey under a new bill

June 15, 2020 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Almost all arrests for possession of marijuana would be eliminated in New Jersey if a new bill is adopted by the state legislature. The bill would not legalize marijuana — that decision is being left to the voters on Nov. 3. But the new legislation seeks to reduce cannabis users’ encounters with police. “New Jersey is […]

Marijuana legalization has been touted as one way to unravel the consequences of the war on drugs, but two new studies suggest that the communities most harmed by the nearly 50-year crusade — namely people of color — are not reaping the benefits. Two reports, published by the American Civil Liberties Union and a team of researchers from […]

February 26, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón announced Monday that his office will wipe out more than 9,000 marijuana-related convictions in an unprecedented step following California’s cannabis legalization more than two years ago.

N.J. mayors threaten to ban weed dispensaries if lawmakers don’t meet their demands

February 4, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

The mayors of New Jersey’s two biggest towns won’t allow marijuana dispensaries in their cities unless they are happy with how the legalization bill addresses previous weed convictions.

Corey Thornton admits he gave little thought to the marijuana in his car as he drove along Germantown Pike near the Plymouth Meeting Mall in March. He was heading home to Philadelphia, where police have essentially decriminalized marijuana possession — no longer arresting thousands a year for pot but issuing a like number of $25 civil […]

September 24, 2018 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

D.C. police say they will take fewer people into custody when they are caught using marijuana in public, and instead cite them the way they would someone caught for a moving violation. The new policy was announced late Friday by Mayor Muriel Bowser and Chief Peter Newsham. It says that most arrests for the public […]

Despite NYC’s Lenient Pot Policy, This Shocking Marijuana Arrest Statistic Persists

February 27, 2018 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Four years after New York City unveiled a new marijuana enforcement policy, lawmakers say data shows racial disparities persist in the marijuana arrest capital of the world—and blasted the NYPD for saying it’s due to complaints from communities of color. In 2014, the city unveiled a new policy whereby officers issue a summons instead of carrying out […]
