152. My issues with this
(I'm not getting on the Sheriffs or Cops--It's the politicians fault)

That this drug war is a sham and I bet a good number of these people are non-violent drug offenders that need rehabilitation. I looked up the laws any substance and cannabis over 28 grams is a felony in the state. Now you can go on about shouldn't be doing it anyway but genetics and environmental factors play a huge role in someone becoming addicted. Those genes and enivornmental triggers affect addicts unlike people who aren't. The type that can have 1 or 2 drinks after work to relax and that's it.

I really think we need to reform the ways we do drug policy.

The other felons, thieves, violent, etc. should be locked up as well as rehabilitated especially if he/she has projected release date way before old age so they could re-enter into society and hopefully someone will hire.
