The poor have become targets for prison time & long jail sentences with the new drug laws that have been in place since the Regan administration. Who doesn't want to make a little money, much like the prohibition times of the 1900's, but now ohhhh no they can't allow that, it is one of the biggest dangers to our society. No longer do we try to help those who are addicts, we will just lock them up & create more jobs for those who are sheep & do as we say.

Bullshit, if more people smoked marijuana instead of drinking the legal drug of alcohol we certainly would have less domestic abuse, deaths from car accidents, shootings etc. Who on marijuana has ever gone into a blackout and done something stupid?? No one I know, & I have 30 years of experience & exposure to draw from.

Once you are convicted of any drug crime, you are denied the social service programs such as food stamps, medicaid, & housing assistance. In addition to denial of any student loan benefits, & let me tell you working for minimum wage ain't gonna get you thru college.
