Some 850,000 American lives are thrown into turmoil every year by our government's ridiculous anti-marijuana laws, most of those cases involving small amounts for personal use. Many of those arrested are teenagers, and the consequences to their educations and lives are unconscionable. I believe that the wildly profitable prison industrial complex is largely responsible for spreading the falsehoods that legalization would cause further problems, when in fact it would solve many. - Shelby Sadler - The Washington Post
