Should people really go to prison for drug possession?

 I know doing drugs is illegal but if you go to prison for possession of marijuana then I just don't think you did that credible of an offense. As for other drugs I feel like if they are just in possession you should just get a fine or something.

If it is the law, then yes. Whether the drug is good or bad, or the law is just or not, you can't pick and choose which ones you want to follow, the government wouldn't have any control if that was the way it worked, and anarchy would take over.

Side: Yes

What would you do with a bag of drugs if you didn't use it for anything?

I mean seriously, no one would just have a bag of drugs just laying around.. if you are possessing drugs, it would be very odd if you're only planning on keeping it, and not use it or sell it .. just have it there collecting dust. No one does that.

Side: No

Someone tripping or getting high should not be a criminal offense.

Even though I've been studying Psychology for years, I've decided to go to Law School just to protect those who get arrested for drug possession.

Really, now, defense attorneys are the legal warriors against Fascism.

Side: No

The times have changed and the prisons are already too crowded. Drug possession should be reduced to a misdemeanor without any jail time.

Side: No
