Nope, just the folks that were caught with pot. 700,000 people last year alone were arrested for possession. I don't really know how many were incarcerated for any length of time but even at 20% you've still got a $3,024,140,000 tab to pick up for housing pot smokers.

If you think that 20% of the federal inmate population is there for pot possession, you're smoking some of the extra powerful stuff.

What part of "I don't know the numbers" didn't you get out of that. Not much I'm going assume.

Guess I should change my tune tho. I don't know so I shouldn't have posted those numbers.

All I know is that the cost of tracking down, arresting, booking, incarcerating and trying pot smokers is too damn much.
