It's pure insanity beyond my imagination! Prison labor is like something out of Auschwitz but with black people who's only crime is they smoke marijuana. Are you kidding me?????

Those guys are not in prison for jaywalking. They're in prison because of violent crimes against fellow citizens, usually the same color they are. You may as well let them make license plates while they're there.

I'm having trouble finding statutes that pertain to drug USE. Plenty on possession, manufacturing, distributing and trafficking but none on use.
I'm not against marijuana by the way but the outrage you have seems to be a little unjustified.
