In the last two decades alone, more than 900,000 New Yorkers have been arrested for marijuana possession. These arrests reflect rampant discrimination, specifically against New Yorkers of color. In New York, black people are 10 times more likely than white people to be arrested for marijuana possession, with 80% of all statewide marijuana arrests targeting black and Latino residents. This staggering disparity in arrests exists despite similar rates of use across demographics.
