At least 95% of the people in jail for marijuana fall into one of these categories:

(1) Parole or probation violation
(2) Previous felony conviction
(3) Pleaded down from a more serious charge
(4) Resisting arrest
(5) Reckless driving or DUI

The number of recreational (but otherwise law abiding) users in jail is close to zero.

Where are you statistics to back this up?

I think you’re right, I see lots of marijuana users in treatment for other reasons, usually marijuana does not cause a person to commit serious crimes.

Statistical backup please. And please clarify how many of the offenses in your categories 1-5 are also marijuana related, and how many are not.

Neat looking data you have there. Anything to verify its fact not just your imagination?
