I thought that the only ones who are put in jail are the ones who commit crimes or the ones who have enough on them to be charged with intent to distribute.

Depends on the state, For instance, on marijuana, any amount can be a felony in Louisiana, while any amount in Cali is a misdemeanor, unless you are growing or caught selling.
... and yes I am for decrim. of pot to the level of cigarettes.

It seems to me that there should not be such a difference in the law in the same country. IMHO. I think it's use should be legalized for medicinal purposes by physician's prescription.
