The debate was sponsored by the Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) chapter at the University of Arkansas and University Programs.

Univ. of Arkansas Equalizes Marijuana and Alcohol Penalties

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
