i wonder how many of these were marijuana related. our tax dollars at work. depressing, really.

probably most are of drug charges not just marijuana.

Yep, the majority are definitly drug charges, and some rightly so, even though I support legalizing some lighter drugs, Crack, Cocaine and Meth are ruining alot of lives.

1 in 37. Think about that, assuming that my schools were somewhat normal in that they usually had between 20 to 22 kids per class, Think of two classes from high school, one of those people are in jail now.
