📝 A new study shows that Atlanta’s decision to decriminalize mari_jua_na actually lowered violent crime, despite what critics warned.

👮🏾‍♀️ Before the change, getting caught with a small amount of the plant could mean a year in jail and a $1,500 fine—but in 2017, the city reduced that to just a $75 fine with no jail time.

🥼 Researchers looked at crime data from 2015-2018 and compared Atlanta to other Georgia cities that didn’t change their ma*****na laws. The results? Violent crime dropped by nearly 20%, with about 20 fewer violent crimes per 100,000 people each month. And no, crime didn’t just shift to other areas—the drop was real.

💡 So, what made the difference? Cops stopped wasting time on low-level mari_jua_na arrests and focused on actual violent crimes instead.

🚔 The Atlanta Police Department backed this approach, saying they’d rather go after robbers, rapists, and home invaders than throw ca_nn_abis consumers in jail. Even 15 months later, crime rates were still lower, proving that shifting priorities worked.

⚖️ This study adds to the growing evidence that legalizing or decriminalizing mari_jua_na doesn’t make communities more dangerous—it can actually make them safer by letting police do their jobs where it really matters.
