Notes:
These figures are the primary estimate of marijuana arrests in the United States. “Crime in the United States” (CUIS) is an annual report from the Federal Bureau of Investigtion and contains national estimates of the total number of arrests for marijuana and other drug offenses. These estimates, like other data reported on this web site, are based on local agency reports to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. However the national estimates presented in CUIS are a combination of hard data reported from local agencies and estimated data to account for areas of the country that have not participated in the the UCR program.
