If you’re in Washington, DC, check out the new ads on the Metro starting tomorrow with the words: “Marijuana Laws Waste Billions of Taxpayer Dollars to Lock Up Non-Violent Americans.” (click on the picture for a larger version)

Kudos to ACLU, Change the Climate, Drug Policy Alliance, and Marijuana Policy Project for their efforts.
