[Vision2020] [corrected] It's Time for an Honest Conversation About Marijuana . . .

[Donovan Arnold]

Your perception of reality is deeply flawed. The majority of pot sellers are men. When mothers are put in prison for pot, prisons must be built for women instead of men, requiring male prisoners to be released for lack of space. When the US taxpayers incarcerate a larger percentage of its population then any other nation on the planet, at a cost of $50,000 to hundred thousand a year, it leaves little in resources to those for wefare.  If welfare and jobs were provided, mothers would not be selling pot, especially if it were legal and regulated. Republican conservatives try to save money by cutting assistance to the working poor, but end up paying three times as much for prisons and law enforcement.
