Well, America has more prisons than colleges, and locks up more people than any other country, so our priorities are a little bent anyways, but the real insult to the thousands locked up for pot possession is that everyone and their mother can go out now and legally engage in the activity that put them behind bars and robbed them of their lives. I say let them go, and give them a $100 gift cetificate to the pot dispensary of their choice.
