The city of Fort Worth is considering a proposal to decriminalize marijuana possession up to four ounces. Those for it say dozens of non-violent offenders are jailed in Fort Worth for small amounts of marijuana, and the majority are Black and Hispanic residents.
The city of Fort Worth is considering a proposal to decriminalize marijuana possession up to four ounces.
"I want the city of Fort Worth to pass an ordinance that says if you have four ounces or less of marijuana, you’ll be given a civil citation. You’ll be cited, and you’ll be released, meaning you’ll go on your way. You’ll deal with it on the civil side instead of going to jail," he said. "The most arrests that were cited in 2021 through 2022 were in East Fort Worth, and that’s where the majority of Black and brown communities live," he said.
Also, a fairly new Fort Worth PD policy was explained: how officers currently, at their discretion, can cite and release nonviolent individuals found with up to two ounces of pot.
