New this fall The University of Arkansas has decided to equalize penalties when it comes to marijuana and alcohol possession on campus. Last year a misdemeanor pot possession, which consists of an ounce or less, resulted in a mental health evaluation, 50 hours community service, suspended parking privileges for one year, one year probation and a $200 fine. Students for Sensible Drug Policy have been working for the past year to reduce that penalty to the same as a misdemeanor alcohol offense, which is a drug education class, 15 hours community service and a $50 fine. http://www.kfsm.com/news/kfsm-news-nwa-marijuana-penalty-arkansas,0,240850.story added by: JackHerer
