Stop Locking Up Marijuana Consumers

Dear Ann Landers: I have a quick suggestion for resolving the crisis of overcrowding in our jails: Stop locking up marijuana consumers. Seventeen out of every 100 federal prisoners are there for marijuana crimes -- 17,000 marijuana prisoners in all. At least an additional 20,000 marijuana offenders are in state prisons and local jails. That prison space should be used for rapists, muggers and other dangerous criminals. There are more than 400,000 marijuana arrests each year. Think of how we could better use our limited police resources. I firmly believe we should allow responsible adults to grow and consume marijuana in the privacy of their own homes and then watch how quickly prison overcrowding is reduced and the black market dries up.
