Do you know who uses cannabis? Chad and his buddies in the suburbs. Cancer patients who are trying to survive their treatment. Those with mental health disorders who find relief in the anxiety lowering properties of THC. And young and old people are like who makes stupid mistakes and get caught. Thank God you have heretofore been absolutely perfect in your life.
Let’s keep misdemeanor offenders in jail by all means. Let’s continue to overcrowded prisons, creating new problems all together. Let’s keep treating drugs like they’re a sin rather than a burden, denying people treatment and safety and therefore making society in general a more dangerous place. It’s a great plan. Maybe next we could put anyone using prescription medication not prescribe directly to them in jail for terms of 10 years plus. We have more US citizens in our own jails and any other western country on the planet. Let’s punish everyone else enough until it makes us feel good about ourselves.
