as of 1996, about 60% of the inmates in american prisons were incarcerated for non-violent drug charges, that percentage is probably higher as of today. Weed is one of the most harmless drugs out there, and it's a waste of resources to go after small timers anyways... I mean yeah cops have quotas to meet and stuff, but how about spending those precious resources going after people doing real harm, like cooking meth in a hotel bathtub, or the guy in the next room killing his crack-addicted prostitute.
But I guess it's easier to hate than to regulate.
