FBI Data: One arrest every 42 seconds for possession of the Evil Weed

This colossal waste of time, energy, tax dollars, jail/prison beds, etc. is a
national disgrace; not to mention the cruel and unusual devastation this
heaps upon the heads of hapless arrestees, .

This needs to be shoved into the faces of all GOP "austerity" freaks,
until they cry "UNCLE!"

Our billion dollar waste on the war on pot. I see now why, it keeps the private prison industry happy with one every 42 seconds.

Our country is fucking stupid when it comes to a weed that grows in the ground. The colossal waste is criminal.
