Idea to send:	Topic Criminal Justice Content Marijuana needs to be decriminalized. With our prison populations hitting maximum capacity, and our state having some of the strictest marijuana laws, we should not be locking up people who are using a drug less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. Even the price of rehab treatment for drug offenders would be less than the cost of incarceration. Prisons should not be holding non-violent drug offenders who are doing nothing worse than your average Joe Six-Pack who has a couple of beers after work. By putting people away for lengthy sentences, our state does nothing to get people to stop using drugs. What we are doing is ruining peoples lives and costing taxpayers millions. Twelve other states have decriminalized marijuana including places like Alabama, Colorado, and Mississippi. It is time for Oklahoma to take progressive action. This issue should be put on the next election ballot.
