2. One out of every ten Americans consumed cannabis last year

According to the National Survey on Drug Use -in spite of its current legal status. If they would break down the numbers differently, I am sure the figures for adults would be larger than they are - but they sort people starting at age 12. The majority of people use cannabis for the first time between ages 18-25.

Does our govt really want to claim that one out of every ten of these Americans is a criminal worthy of arrest, prosecution and jail?

I guess that's one way to create jobs - a massive prison industry. Oh wait - we ALREADY imprison more people than China.
