CBS Denver: Marijuana Activists In Colorado Count Arrests Oct 25th 2012, 17:36 CBS Denver CBSDenver.com - News for Colorado and Denver from CBS4, plus Sports, Weather, Traffic and Top Spots Marijuana Activists In Colorado Count Arrests Oct 25th 2012, 17:29 DENVER (AP) — Colorado’s marijuana debate includes a back-and-forth over pot possession and the impact on the criminal justice system, and activists are counting up the arrests. The activists are releasing a report Thursday saying that marijuana possession arrests in Colorado went from about 4,000 in 1985 to more than 10,000 in 2010. The activists say two-thirds of those arrested were 25 or younger and that 36 percent were black or Latino. The numbers come from FBI Uniform Crime Reports. Marijuana possession in Colorado is a petty offense, but people charged with pot possession still have to appear in criminal court. Opponents of marijuana legalization argue that marijuana possession is such a minor crime that full legalization isn’t needed. They planned a rival event Thursday with mothers and women who oppose legalization. (© Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
