Obviously I’m not familiar with the specifics of each case, but life sentences for non-violent drug offenders? Yeah, I’m cool with this move by Obama.
Aye. The war on drugs is an epic fail and forever will be.
Interesting quote near the end from Obama about how he is lucky that “addiction didn’t its claws” into him and how he was not always as responsible as he is today. Everyone knows he smoked pot in his younger years, but kinda makes you wonder what else he was into.
