6. There are about non-violent 500,000 drug offenders behind bars.
But only about 10% are pot people. There just aren't that many places where you routinely get imprisoned for pot offenses anymore. Which isn't to say that anyone should be in jail or prison for weed, not at all. But no one should be deprived of their liberty for what they choose to ingest, and the corollary to that is, neither should the person who sold them their product of choice.
