According to Armentano, given America’s current underfunded drug treatment resources and our inability to meet demand, it is shocking and shameful that so many drug treatment facilities are being used to warehouse minor marijuana offenders who have run afoul of the law. In 2007, almost 40 percent of the estimated 288,000 people who entered drug treatment for cannabis use hadn’t even used it in the 30 days previous to their admission with another 16 percent reporting they used marijuana fewer than three times in the month before admission to treatment, hardly pot addicts worthy of drug rehab.
