Posted: 22 Feb 2014 08:33 AM PST

Prosecutors in Baltimore, a city with one of the highest rates of marijuana arrests in the United States, are softening their approach to those charged with possessing the drug, saying such convictions clog the court system and drain resources.

Last year, 4,500 people were allowed to perform community service rather than going to court for pot possession, an increase from about 1,400 the previous year, according to new city data first published in the Baltimore Sun.
