Good. I was once more liberal on this issue but the drugs have gotten out of control. Cops are giving narcan to the same people two and three times per day. Time for a new strategy. Maybe we should look at countries like Singapore and how they maintain very low drug rates.

Sessions can't do much at all from Washington and what he is likely going to try and do is most likely not the right thing.

It's funny, the (R)'s ***** for decades about how things need turned over to the states as the bureaucracy in D.C. only causes waste but here we go..........

Good news for the GOP. I don't think there is such a thing as a Republican who is not on the take from the private prison industry.

Groovy🐸. I remember when I, and the Mormon buddies that were in the car with me, got busted for a dime bag in 84. The cops kept the dime bag and gave us a lecture. Surely you fossils were let outside long enough to encounter cops?

Do you think there are any who aren't on the take from BigPharma, one of the leading causes of the drug problem?

Just shoot druggies like they do on the phillippines, that should satisfy the o.p.

Then we can move on to shooting others that do things they don't approve of.

Don't agree...Legalize marijuana, legalize prostitution, and decriminalize various illegal drug's.

Yup, it's always the failt of someone else. "Big Pharma" made me a drug addict. Now where is that eyeroll smiley?

This is ridiculous--bringing back those life sentences for having weed. The mandatory sentencing rules and Drug War are failed policies. Nothing like spending billions on a policy already proved to not work. The result of having authoritarian fascists in office.

"...The Sessions memo marks the first significant criminal justice effort by the Trump administration to bring back the toughest practices of the drug war, which had fallen out of favor in recent years with a bipartisan movement to undo the damaging effects of mass incarceration..."
