I'm not sure this is really the case for offenders ONLY for drug possession. People get popped they might spend a few days, even a month, in county. Marijuana - below "distribution" amounts - is pretty much a slap on the wrist.
I'm certain there are exceptions, but generally speaking I don't think we are "stacking" people in prison on long sentences just because they got caught smoking a joint. Smoking a joint while committing another crime, sure.
