Now I'll give you that was a stupid remark to say he wanted people to get off drugs... but how do you feel knowing they probably pushed a murderer, child molester, armed robber, rapist right out the door from overcrowding to make room for a guy selling empty plastic bottles?

And who cares who smokes pot anyway?

Murderers, child molesters, armed robbers, etc. don't go to Club Fed like Chong did.

And who cares who smokes pot anyway?

Uh, that would be me. I have this silly, antiquated notion that people should obey the law and work within the system to change it if they feel they can't.

It amazes me!

In 1980 California had 2,600 prison gaurds. Now, California has over 29,000 prison gaurds all thanks to the War On Drugs. The prison gaurds union contributes to politicians who support the War On Drugs. I wonder why?

On the bright side, if we keep putting guys like Tommy Chong and Rush Limbaugh in prison we'll eventually be able to hire enough gaurds to lock up those violent offenders we let go now.
