Last month, a local marijuana advocacy group in Rochester, NORML, and other community groups released a report that found Monroe County had the fifth-highest arrest rates for low-level marijuana-related offenses in the state, outside of New York City.

The report used data from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services from 2010 to 2018.
