We are in the midst of a civil rights crisis

New Jersey is making more marijuana arrests than ever before: nearly 25,000 arrests per year. But our marijuana laws are not enforced equally in all communities. Despite evidence that Black and white people use marijuana at about the same rate, Black residents are arrested at a rate three times higher than whites. The debilitating costs of a small marijuana possession conviction become even more problematic when they disproportionately impact communities of color. These potential consequences are made worse by the stigma and humiliation that go with an arrest, the potential of losing housing, and the hours lost in school or work time. By eliminating these arrests, taxing and regulating marijuana will strike a blow to the harms of racial disparities in our broken criminal justice system.
