Currently, the punishment for being caught with possession of marijauna at FSU is the loss of financial aid and potentially having it placed on your permanent record. A first time offense for possession of alcohol, however, is only a potential written arrest, sometimes even just a slap on the wrist.
 

Consider: About 1,400 student deaths occur each year in the U.S. due to alcohol poisoning. On the other hand, two organizations on campus, NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and Students for Sensible Drug Policy, argue that marijuana is dangerous only when abused yet safe in small amounts.

These 2 organizations would like to equalize the punishments for first time pot offenses, making marijuana policies the same as current alcohol policies.

Today students have the opportunity to vote on the issue along with the SGA elections. The best part is that you don't even have to go on campus to vote. You can do it online here.
