Possession of Marijuana: No Need To Arrest?

Jordan Smith’s always excellent Weed Watch column in this week’s Austin Chronicle focuses on three topics:

  1. 800,000 arrests in the U.S. for marijuana in 2005 (with 88% of them being for simple possession)
  2. Willie Nelson’s recent non-arrest for half a pound of marijuana
  3. The Government’s new anti-marijuana You Tube campaign

Anyone reading this think they could have gotten star treatment for a felony amount of marijuana? If getting a ticket is good enough for Willie, why does everyone else have to be arrested for it?
