The specific argument is made that if you decriminalize marijuana, it won't make a difference because there aren't that many incarcerations for marijuana specifically.

Which is an argument so obviously true as to be banal; even the marijuana decriminalization campaign in Colorado pointed it out.

Marijuana is going to be legal in the US. It's not a live issue. We don't have to import it into every other social science inquiry.
