New this fall The University of Arkansas has decided to equalize penalties when it comes to marijuana and alcohol possession on campus.
Last year a misdemeanor pot possession, which consists of an ounce or less, resulted in a mental health evaluation, 50 hours community service, suspended parking privileges for one year, one year probation and a $200 fine.
Students for Sensible Drug Policy have been working for the past year to reduce that penalty to the same as a misdemeanor alcohol offense, which is a drug education class, 15 hours community service and a $50 fine.

A required mental health evaluation for pot? Sounds pretty retarded. How many times did these lawmakers watch Reefer Madness exactly?
