America is under siege from within. These scumbags running for president are willing to kill even more family members with illegal drugs.
Re: No Jail Time for Possession of Any Drug
One problem...
Most of the people in jail for possessing user amounts of an illegal drug have pleaded down from a more serious felony.
If this becomes law, most of those people will then plead Not Guilty to the more serious felony and request a jury trial.
Our criminal courts will then have million case backlogs like our immigration courts have now.
Let’s encourage self destruction. Eugenicists love it and it creates another aggrieved, dependent class of citizens.

Peter, it’s hard enough to ram yourself down our throats. Some crackers like it, eh Peter? The bros not so much. The MBros NOT AT ALL The ladies and women not so much either. Be respectful of your girlfriends and wives, men. Thanks.
We surrender. The drug war is over. Say goodbye to the DEA.
So sayeth Satan through his vessel.
Tweekers and junkies aren’t going to vote reliably. Pandering to libertarians?
I’m actually torn on this.
I have a huge number of clients who just have these stupid drug charges. Otherwise, they have no other criminal record. They might be a grandmother, 9 grandkids, works for a living, but bizarrely also has the vice of doing cocaine and pot. She gets caught and it’s a felony charge. Maybe they don’t do jail time, maybe they do if they’ve been caught before.
Other clients, like those who do heroin, might be hardcore dependent on them and are unable to function. They might have jobs as handymen, lawncare, whatever, but they’er doing heroin and falling asleep at the taco bell parking lot.
Again, no violent criminal record. Not even thefts (but sometimes there are, to feed the addiction). Maybe traffic violations, whatever, but because they get caught so much, now they’re facing years in prison.
It seems to me that most drugs, like marijuana, Joe Rogan’s DMT, etc., are not more addictive than alcohol and that there is no one being harmed by them other than the user and the State, and the State retaliates by hurting them more than the drugs ever did.
ON THE OTHER HAND
I get a client, a black guy. Every single black client I get has 20-30 previous arrests. Lots of it violent. Assaults with deadly weapons but they dropped the deadly weapon part to get a guilty plea. Breaking into cars, houses. Brandishing guns. The works. He comes to me because he’s charged for drug dealing, and it is THIS charge that may finally put him away on a first degree felony. Not the crazy violence he’s done in the past, or the fact that he’s violated parole or bond every time he’s been on it.
The drug use by them is just a feature of their overall criminal activity. It makes it easier to put them away when you also got them for drug possession or dealing.
It seems to me, even if drug laws are unnecessary, drug laws help keep violent crime down because violent criminals often do drugs—but drugs don’t always cause violent crime, unless it’s severely addictive, and even then, not all the time.
So you see, I’m torn. I don’t like these drug laws ruining the lives of otherwise normal people or people who are simply troubled and need support.
But drug laws also keep crime down.
Under total demonrat rule, this country will be one unrecognizable free-for-all.
Plus, a preemptive pardon for Ed Buck.
The problem is not so much the drug users using drugs, it is what the drug users are doing to get the money for the drugs.
Wonder what drugs he uses as it’s certainly apparent he’s on something pretty wild!
Sadly, a lot of ‘liberaltarian’ freepers would agree with Butt-itch.
So the Democrats pl a to jail Second Amendment folks and give a pass to etch labs.
No jail, but each criminal arrested must do a “time out” at butt-giggity’s home before they’re pardoned.
There are two reasons for possessing drugs. (Three if you include legitimate research). Either you intend to use them, or give them to a loved one, or you intend to sell them for a profit.
How are these two reasons ascertained?
You sir are an idiot that I am sure has never had to deal with some idiot on meth!
What? Howzat? Some other nation will conquer us and enslave us and our children? So what???
Anyway slavery was abolished back in the ...uh...a long time ago... It's illegal. They can't do that.
There are no drug users without drug cartels and drug dealers and drug smugglers and drug enforcers
Even for dealers with $1 mil in drugs in the trunk of their car ???
OK, no penalty for possession, but DEATH for selling it.
Dead dealers would diminish the supply greatly!
