137. well.......
1) my point is that the private sector has an investment in keeping prison populations high, do you disagree?

2) so no one goes to jail unless they are dealing, growing, trafficing? what is the criteria for deciding if someone is trafficing or not?

3) marijuana can be used with out impairing the user, do you think it is a mistake to link the two issues because alcohol does far more damage to our society than marijuana? how many alcohol related deaths/violence did you deal with this year? how many marijuana related deaths/violence did you deal with this year?

4) but the majority voted? what happened to states rights? are you saying for marijuana to be decriminalized that the federal laws will have to be overturned?

5) yay, we agree on something.

6) i would grow marijuana in my back yard in a second if it were legal. i believe you have misconceptions about "typical" marijuana users.

7) so, does locking someone up protect the population or does it teach the criminal a lesson?

how do you know the rehab does not work? what exposure do you have to the situations? what city is this? you seem to know more than the court system, why don't try to address the situation with them?
