Minnesota is among the worst states for racial disparities when it comes to marijuana arrests, according to an ACLU report released in April.
The 110-page report, titled “A Tale of Two Countries: Racially Targeted Arrests in the Era of Marijuana Reform,” found racial disparities continue to exist despite changes in laws, with black people being arrested for marijuana possession at a higher rate than their white counterparts despite black and white people using marijuana at “similar rates.”
