The feds are releasing about 6,000 people it has locked up for the non-crime of possessing drugs. This is one of the few good things that has happened under Obama. Not a big enough thing to offset his many crimes, but still a good thing. “Law and order” conservatives must be foaming at the mouth. Six thousand is a good start. Every American in prison for a drug “crime” should be pardoned and released immediately. No one should ever be detained by police, arrested, tried, fined, or imprisoned for drug crimes, as I pointed out here.
