" Officials said there are currently no Americans serving prison time solely on federal simple marijuana possession charges. But they said the number who had been charged with that crime was north of 6,500."
This has been studied in detail. Most federal inmates were there because they plea-bargained dealing down to possession. The days when Texas sent a man to prison for life for marijuana possession (third felony in a three strikes and your out state) are way behind us.
