Dude...the majority of them are in jail for drug charges and other stupid shit.
Robbers, thieves, murderers, rapists...yes. They SHOULD be in jail.
People who get caught getting high in states with the "3 strikes" bullshit...fuck no.
Before you get too far in your opinion on this, I just ask that you do some research about what's happened in the country regarding this. It's pretty brutal.
And when you step back and think about it a minute...it's all about OTHER people telling YOU that you aren't allowed to smoke a joint, or do a line of coke.
Reality is...it's none of their fucking business. But they made a LAW against it.
And those laws have had the same results for drug prohibition as they did for alcohol prohibition.
It's led to unbelievable violence and crime.
And most of it is based on the stupid ass 70 year old movie "Reefer Madness" which was put together by a church group in 1936.
Then when Nixon started the "War On Drugs" 40 years ago, it was off to the races for the Prison industry.
You can call it a buzz word all you want to. But it's a FACT.
I don't want to debate it with you. I just want you to google a few things, and think about it. I'd sincerely like you to check it out and change your mind.
In my opinion, our country needs to have people taking a good look at this and putting an end to it. And if you can change your mind about it after looking at it closely....then that's one more person.
