Despite the false narrative being pushed by Representative Winkler, here are the real facts from our own Minnesota Department of Corrections:

Out of 10,114 people in prison ONLY 50 people are there for marijuana and 70 % of those have prior felony convictions.

Remember: Minnesota decriminalized marijuana possession many years ago; only sales and possession of large amounts remains a felony!
