Abstract
The sale of recreational marijuana is now legal in eleven states and the District of Columbia; and soon more states would consider legalizing marijuana in the years to come. Researchers believe legalizing recreational marijuana could decrease arrest for marijuana possessions and sales, because legalization reduces penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana.  My research investigates the possible effects in arrest for drug possession and sales in the United States after legalization of marijuana.
