The vast majority of drug offenders in prison are drug dealers, not drug users. It's extremely rare for drug users to be imprisoned. It boggles my mind that this propaganda is kept being pushed.
- cmdrfred 11y agoThe term drug dealer is a bit vague, keep your weed in two bags? Must be a dealer.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoDrug dealer meaning they reached some arbitrary definition that has only a passing relationship with dealing drugs.
- martinald 11y agoMost low level drug dealers are generally paying for their own supply. At my (very highly regarded) university in the UK you'd see this all the time. Pick up bigger bits, resell to friends, keep the "profit" for your own fun.
- moheeb 11y agoIt used to be my job to pull data for a large state's prison population. I can tell you unequivocally that it is NOT rare for drug users to be imprisoned. In fact I can say with certainty that most of the people attending prison use drugs.
