It seems that there is some credence to your argument. This nifty "drug-war clock"
http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm shows a vast discrepancy in the number of arrests and incarcerations in this year. However, it also states that 25% of all current inmates were incarcerated on drug charges.

All of this does not matter, as I also stated before, pot is just one of the many drugs sold illegally. I do not think legalizing it would even put a dent in what is spent to combat cocaine, crack, heroin and anything else people mix up from the chemicals under the sink.

That is why I advocate the legalization of
all drugs. However, even the legalization of marijuana alone would eliminate about half of all drug violations, so says the drug clock and U.S. statistics on criminal justice by offense. I think it is a step in the right direction, and is worth bringing to the attention of legislators and the public.
@Agiel 17-
Man, don't even get me started on some of the drug prevention programs I went through in school. Some of the same stuff. Four white guys doing a pitiful rap about how drugs are "uncool" is not the way to go. I hope they've developed better methods recently.
