Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But seriously, 10% of adults in Florida, that's got to be a lot of drug possession convictions, right?
A quick google found this [link]
"Of the inmates residing in federal prisons as of September 2011, and for whom offense data are known, more than half (101,929 or 50.4%) were serving sentences for federal drug offenses—including simple possession.

Nationally, 13 % of Black men are convicted felons, so I can see it being that high. We probably just don't know that many felons because we are predominantly white middle class people.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I gave away a loaf of pumpkin bread and a loaf of banana bread. Half the muffins and one half of a banana loaf were consumed between snack and dessert.
I bought sugar and will no go to work on the Texas sheet cake.

Florida specifically: "The Florida Department of Corrections receives more than 34,000 inmates each year. This year, the top three crime categories for admissions were for drug offenses (26.1%), followed by burglary (16.9%) and theft/forgery/fraud (14.9%)." [link]

50% of the 100,000 people in prison in Florida are in for violent offenses of one kind or another, 22% property crimes, and 18% drug-related. [link] That's more violence than I would have thought, actually. Not that I know anything about crime statistics.

Is there ever a time when you can use decimate properly?
