The Chicago Tribune reported on the recently released ACLU report about racial disparities in nationwide arrests for marijuana possession, and looked at where Illinois, and specifically Cook County, rank on the national scale.
The ACLU also found that Cook County piled up far more marijuana possession arrests in 2010 than any other county in America. Cook County tallied more than 33,000 pot arrests that year, with blacks, who account for 25 percent of the county's population, making up nearly 73 percent of those busted.
