    Indeed. Because what we are now very clear on is that this country never really waged a war on drugs, it waged a war on people.https://twitter.com/michaelskolnik/status/948924215855665153 …

        In order to end the war on drugs, they need to start extending resources to the people who start using and get addicted to them to begin with. And that's not going to be cutting these people's healthcare, raising thier taxes, taking away thier housing and many other policy

        It’s a hard realizationwhen you have POC friends with drug charges, forced into the system while white people are making themselves rich doing the same thing

        It’s apparent when the states that legalize it don’t immediately release anyone locked up on pot possession or dealing.
