There aren't many people in prison for the petty offense of using pot. At least not people there because they were caught with small amounts of weed. There are many pot dealers in prison. They belong there.

What propaganda have you been reading that states misdemeanor pot offenses result in hard prison sentences? In Iran petty marijuana users may get prison sentences. It doesn't happen here. People caught with a joint or a small bag don't do serious prison time.

Some may spend some time in the lockup waiting to appear before a judge, but then again if you want to smoke pot... don't do it in public and don't act like an asshole in interactions with the police. Some stoners don't seem to grasp that concept. Maybe that is why they are stoners.

If some users have been caught up in the "three strikes" laws of some states, I've already stated those laws need to revisited and rewritten.

Everything else you have written in your previous post is nothing but complete dismissal and bordering on ad hominem.

You refuse to debate any specific points brought into this debate or any peripheral or similar type scenarios brought into the argument that have been posed by people not on your side of the debate.

You do nothing but dismiss everything. It seems you do it based solely on the fact that you smoke pot and therefore think your habit should be legal.

The biggest thing you dismiss is the fact that the general public does not want pot to be legalized. All pot users ignore that fact.
