About 7% of U.S. residents admit to being current marijuana smokers. That’s probably a conservative estimate.

Colorado had 5,188,000 people (could be more now, because, y’know, January 1, 2014).

5,188,000 x .07 = 363,160.

According to U.S. Bureau of Justice statistics, there were 2,266,800 people incarcerated in federal and state prisons as of 2011.

So, apparently Senator Cruz would increase the prison population by about 16% from just one state.

I smoked pot on and off for 30 years, and I don’t think at my dopiest I ever suggested anything that batshit insane.
