And what statistics are you looking at? The DoJ stats show almost a million prisoners in state prisons for major felonies less than 260,00 for drug related crimes....

Like the other fellow perhaps you are thinking of jail rather than prison.

And most of those 260,000 folks in prison were probably major pushers, king pins, or other scurulous louts.

. . . most of those 260,000 folks in prison were probably major pushers, king pins, . . .

I hate to burst your bubble, but the major pushers and king pins are RARELY the ones that are in prison.

You have quite an imagination.

I don’t consider drug offenses to be crimes.

I consider them to be resistance and civil disobedience to the police state and busybody legislation.

While 80-90% of murderers and bank robbers are rightly caught, if everyone who smoked a joint were caught, the prisons would have 10 times as many. Therefore drug laws are merely an unnecessary annoyance.
