Thomas sowell and Ben Shapiro talk about this often:

There is no “jailed for minor drug offenses” problem in America.

It’s based on egregious misreading of the stats.

The stats *do* show that there are an enormous number of people in jail who have drug charges/convictions, but that is just *part* of why they are in jail. They are in jail for more serious offenses, often involving guns or domestic violence.

Please educate yourself.

Of the Americans currently sitting in a jail cell while carrying drug charges, about 87.5% were charged with other things as well

It’s not about facts it’s about the storyline.

I’ve been involved with doing some Right On crime policy changes in Florida-

I haven’t seen the Shapiro/Sowell discussion but I’ll find it for sure but if their hypothesis is correct then it makes no sense why the elected republicans fight making nominal changes to catch the actual drug dealers/providers and try to rehabilitate the users.

I respect Thomas "Sowell" (don't know if that's quite right) The other little rat bastard can hang from the rafters. People really need to stop listening to the loudest, unreal, & phony people, that are selling a brand on social media. MSM ... MSM. ...MSM. They are the new MSM. Get a grip, people. You allow this madness upon yourself. Dude is a charlatan hack fruitcake. You want to fix the country stop being a gropy to fagboy social media idiots.
