Proposition 36 was passed by 61% of California voters in November 2000. This initiative allows people convicted of 1st and 2nd time nonviolent, simple drug possession to receive drug treatment instead of incarceration.
Yes, I know. I voted for it. It's a good law. It ensures that mere addicts and users don't get incarerated, but makes the authorities go after dealers. That makes sense.
