All illegal drugs should be either decriminalized or legalized for
the mere fact the abuse of them is a medical
problem and not a criminal one.
The money that is now used to catch and prosecute
drug offenders could be better used to fund health programs
to treat drug abusers rather than punishing them by locking
them up.
You're right.

Furthermore, it's not that prisons are overcrowded with nonviolent marjuana
offenders. How many is not so much the issue. It's that they shouldn't be there to begin with.
