Senate Votes to Double Fines, Jail Time for Pot Brownies

“Last night the United States Senate voted to double the penalties for the nation’s newest existential threat: brownies made with marijuana! […] More people are arrested for marijuana possession than any violent crime combined. Blacks and Latinos are unfairly targeted with marijuana arrests; while whites make up a third of marijuana users, relatively few are in prison. Moreover, since 1984, the country’s prison population has quadrupled. Half of our prisoners are in for drug offenses. We now have 5% of the world’s population, and 25% of its prisoners.”

It took forever for the Senate to pass an extension to unemployment benefits for millions of desperate Americans, but pot brownies! Well, that’s an urgent and imminent national disaster!

Useless cretins.
