How many people are in prison solely for possessing drugs? I would imagine most were arrested for other crimes with drugs in their system or on their person and the drug charge was just tacked on.
Nearly three-fourths (72.1%) of the population are non-violent offenders with no history of
violence.
That is the federal numbers.
We have over a million people in federal prison. 1,000,000 people.
If you are not violent, and either an addict or making easy money, you should not be a strain on the criminal justice system.

How many of those are for drug offenses only? As in simple possession? I think most federal crimes are non-violent anyway. Mostly white collar shite and trafficking across state lines. Selling hard drugs should be illegal IMO. They ruin fricking lives and the users and their families are the victims. I wouldn't want them wasting time on simple possession or using. You should have the right to put whatever you want in your body. But pushing that shite is up there with murder to me.
