[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3125605, member: 6281"] I was laying it on pretty thich so as to not be missed lol. OK has already reduced simple drug possession to a misdemeanor/small fine which is a huge step in the right direction. You spoke earlier of the cost associated with arresting those with small amounts but you didnt list the main ones. Incarcerating 1 man for 12 months in OK cost tax payers $22k. If this is a female, her hids are tossed into the foster care system and coincidentally are 10 times more likely to be criminals themselves after growing up with a parent in prison. This adds up to tens of billions a year when you look at the shear numbers of non violent people we are locking up. OK is now number 1 for incarcerating its citizens and turning good ordinary non violets pot smokers into felons and destroying their lives. For this reason alone I want to decriminalize ALL drugs and spend a fraction of that money on rehab. Other countries have done this recently with outstanding results. Google "Portugal drug abuse". Thats number 1 IN THE WORLD. Can you imagine OK locks up more of its people than China and Russia combined? Well, we do. Be proud Okies, [/QUOTE]
