Need help finding a factoid!

The factoid I remember:

"The U.S. would save 200 billion a year if the President pardoned everyone convicted of a non-violent drug offense."

If I remember correctly, I believe Ron Paul said this (I could have read it somewhere though). I'm trying to find the source (youtube, story link).

How much would be saved from cutting US military spending back to the world's average?

Nope. There was no mention of the 200 billion saved.
