That’s how many marijuana arrests American police reported between 1990 and 2025, according to FBI-derived figures compiled by NORML and presented by stupidDOPE’s THE RECORD project. The decade totals tell the story before I do: about 5.1 million in the 1990s, 7.9 million in the 2000s, 6.9 million in the 2010s, and 1.4 million from 2020 through 2025. The single worst year was 2007, with more than 870,000 arrests, nearly half of all drug arrests in the country.
