9,700 in prison times $40,000 (rough estimate on cost per inmate) = $388,000,000. Whoever thinks spending that kind of money to lock up pot smokers must be getting a good chunk of it paid to them, or are completly sick in the head.

I came to this thread late, and I now realize that the point someone was trying to make was that there is no law against "smoking" marijuana as opposed to "possession" of marijuana. As a lawyer, I can tell you that anyone smoking marijuana is, by legal definition, "possessing" it.

...lock up pot smokers...So far, it's been determined that the UCMJ has imprisonment provisions for smoking pot. Do you know of any others?
