That doesn’t change the fact that US prisons are for-profit. And that corporations have huge lobbying powers. It’s why marijuana laws are so harsh and disproportionate to actual heinous crimes. Stoners make a more complacent prisoners to make money off of then psychotic killers.
You’re not wrong, here’s a list of countries that may execute you for possession of canabis;
Bahrain, Brunei Darussalam, Iran, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Sudan, Taiwan and the USA.
Something tells me the USA has executed far fewer prisoners over this charge, leading back to the point I had originally made.
ugh im so glad that i wasnt killed for owning one (1) weed! i should feel so blessed that:
AMERICA IS TRULY THE MOST FREE OF COUNTRIES RAHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When you get thrown into a mass grave because you smoked a fucking plant you can never again;
I don’t have to point a finger and type in all caps to make my point because logic brought me here. Enjoy your meltdown.
Just because the US isn’t the worst of all countries doesn’t mean it’s good. Execution is not the only other option and I’m sure you know that.
Can you point to where I said America is good?
I tried to understand some statistics, I’m not waving a banner here. Stop being foolish.
That is some fine corinthian leather boot you’re slurping upon there, Commandant!
Lol?
I’m all for a usurpation of power from the current government, I’m not ready to be the first one to die for it. I just break the laws I don’t agree with in peace.
Sorry I don’t like the idea of killing prisoners and if that’s the defining factor as to why “ooga booga the US has a ton of prisoners” so be it. Using reason to understand statistics isn’t licking boots. Sorry the meme backfired I guess.
Only 8 percent of the US prison population is housed in for profit prisons. For profit prisons might be an okay place to start, but the entire US prison system is terrible and absolutely needs reform. There are a myriad of other things that need to be changed, just as much.
