DENVER -- Three times since 2005 Denver voters have said they don't want people arrested or prosecuted for carrying less than an ounce of marijuana.

The Marijuana Policy Review Panel is charged with implementing the city's latest marijuna ordinance. On Wednesday, it introduced a resolution recommending the city attorney's office no longer seek conviction for petty marijuana cases.

The panel met at the Denver City and County building trying to find out why hundreds have been arrested since voters passed the three laws starting in 2005.
