denverpost.com — Our "prison-industrial complex" remains potent. And federal law prohibits the drug czar from recommending legalization of any banned drug, no matter the evidence. We have dug ourselves a deep hole. Only forthright and courageous leadership is likely to start us on a saner path. Can this be “the time?” Please, Mr. President.

I am not so sure they are cheaper. They have a minimum occupancy cost, which means that if the prison population falls below that number, you are still paying for empty beds. I'd like to see some proof that it actually is cheaper, not just some propaganda from the prison guard's lobby.

"Seriously? Murder infringes upon the rights of another person, smoking marijuana doesn't. COMPLETELY different circumstances."While I agree with your premise, you're talking about appealing to the kind of legislators who, in some communities, ban smoking cigarettes in one's own home.
