Factoring in that the prison population is a "good chunk" of the total population should elevate the scale of this discussion above statistical haggling
So about 25k people out of a country of 330M (0.007%)
And most of these are for trafficking, not just possession.
I still think it's too many people, but it's not a "good chunk." The amount of people that actually go to jail for mere possession is tiny, and that number is going down.
