Despite strong public support for ending marijuana prohibition, MPP faces an uphill battle. While many Americans recognize the irrationality of marijuana prohibition, not all see it as harmful, and even fewer actually do something about it. Because of this inaction, the federal government has been free to wage a destructive, wasteful war on marijuana users — at an expense to all of us in tax dollars, privacy, and liberty.
In 2013 alone, more than 693,479 people were arrested for marijuana offenses — and 87% of these were for simple possession. That's one marijuana arrest every 51 seconds. Every year, there are more marijuana arrests than for all violent crimes combined.
