The laws are against possession.

That wasn't the question. Again, when that become relevant, I'll let you know...

Okay, let's turn this around.

Who claimed anyone was in jail for just smoking pot? And don't refer to the above quote you posted, one could also say that the person was claiming that people are in jail for being non-violent.

are you stupid? In order to smoke it you have to hold it therefore possess it. In the last fifteen years I doubt if many have done time for it. But in the sixties and even the seventies several states had life terms for using and /or possessing.
