REEFER MADNESS: America's drug policy | This week, Planet Erstwild trips the light fandango on a 2-hour musical lark through the two states whose voters legalized the recreational use of marijuana.

Americans make up 5% of the world's population but 25% of its prison population--1 in 4 of those serving time for pot. Meanwhile, bankers charged with laundering $800 million are not even indicted, not to mention prescription drugs are now killing more people than heroin and cocaine combined.
