Legalized Marijuana

[Idaho]

I thought Republicans were all for small gubberment?

legalizing teh pot will make gubberment smaller because we will have less drug cops and pay less prison contracts

Except prison contracts typically have a gauranteed % of capacity ensured by the state, perfectly legitimate and not the least bit immoral, so the private prisons are all too unhappy about this

Incidentally, the state ok oklahoma just voted to establish a commission that handles parole for non violent offenders and takes it out of the governors hands. The governor opposed this measure. The governor is great friends with the GEO Group

The prison business in the US is unbelievable. A complete contradiction in a country that prides itself on notions of freedom and small government.
