While I agree that MJ should be decriminalized, I'm tired of hearing about "overcrowding". Until they're stacked wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling, there is no such thing as overcrowdng IMHO. Being incarcerated should suck, and suck badly enough so that people don't want to have it happen to them.First off, yes I skipped over many pages of post so if some of this has already been said, I apologize.
They said they won't prosecute for simple possession. It's still PC to search. Carrying several items containing marijuana is not simple possession. Carrying a large quantity is not simple possession. If caught with it, they're still going to take it from you.
From working at the Marion county jail for a short time and speaking with people that still work there, over population is most likely why they made this decision.
