Yeah just for possessing it, such a major difference.

Relatively few people are in prison for pot at all, was I guess my point. But I'm not looking to litigate weed law, which is something that virtually everyone on HN directionally agrees about anyways.

Even still, relative to other prisoners, weed is pretty minor. You're talking like ~1% of the prison population.

Arrest rates are way higher though.
