REMINDER: Fayetteville, Arkansas voters to decide future of city's marijuana policy
On Tuesday, Fayetteville voters will decide whether to make the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana for adult personal use the city's lowest law enforcement priority.
If you have not already, please get out and vote for Fayetteville's "Lowest Law Enforcement and Prosecutorial Priority Policy Ordinance" at this early voting location today:
You can early vote at the above location this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or during the week from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you are unable to vote early, please remember to get out and vote on Tuesday, November 4.
Adults who use marijuana responsibly don't belong behind bars. A simple marijuana violation can literally ruin a life by prohibiting loving and capable adults from adopting a child, blocking access to public housing, and making it impossible to secure employment.
Under current Arkansas law, people arrested for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The proposed ordinance would simply encourage police to use their discretion in dealing with adults who are found to be in possession of small amounts of marijuana and, if the situation dictates, allow adults who are not otherwise in violation of the law to go on their way.
Spearheading the initiative is Sensible Fayetteville, which passed a similar ordinance in Eureka Springs last year.
Voters in no fewer than 10 cities all across the country have approved similar measures in an attempt to free up police resources, clear court dockets, and save taxpayers money.
Please help spread the word about this initiative and ensure that Fayetteville takes a step in the right direction by forwarding this alert along to everyone you know in Fayetteville. |
