I was very unclear in that comment, I apologize.

I was myself confused by the comment I was replying to. I don't like when people say "hint, most people x".

I wanted to get better information about what the actual statistics were, because I didn't know what percent of the prison population were sex offenders, which was 15%.

This is my source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/16/sex-offender...

I'm not sure what my position on this issue is. But it appears that a decent percentage of people in prison in California are serious criminals, and although some are definitely marijuana offenders that should probably be released, I don't think its fair to call that the majority of the people in the prison system.
