The death penalty is not only morally wrong, but execution is actually a more expensive process than life imprisonment.

1.16 million Americans are arrested annually for the sale, manufacture or possession of illegal substances.
Drug arrests including marijuana make up a total of 26% of all arrests in the U.S.
32,357 Americans are arrested annually for the sale and manufacture of marijuana.
317,793 Americans are arrested annually for possession of marijuana.
Seventy percent of prisoners released in 2012 were arrested again within five years, according to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).

A quick way to reduce these numbers is to just shoot and kill the repeated drug offenders

 @9FRGTBR from South Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I think that drugs are very bad you should never do drugs under any circumstances don't even do it f your friend tells you to because you can get in trouble for it.

 @9G3ZPK6 from Idaho  agreed…2yrs2Y

not going to research this again but once i saw this university posted a study on how life was imprisoned and it was terrible, Almost 60 percent (i believe) of prisoners serving time for a drug charge where diagnosed with a SAD.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
