Unless you think wasting billions of dollars and thousands of lives is unimportant, you should be against it.
That's the thing, this isn't a stoner issue, this should be an important issue to all citizens that use public services. The government is throwing your money away locking up harmless citizens and after nearly 100 years of being an abject failure, the current government wants to toughen the laws, ruin more lives and waste even more money than they were before!
At what point do people understand this isn't about people who are 'hippies', it's about people who aren't?
Where is the Omnibus bill increasing funding for missing persons investigations or domestic violence or child services or financial services and corporate fraud? Where's the omnibus bill for political corruption?
That is stuff worth spending money on, not locking up 19 year olds, preventing them from a meaningful engagement in all sections of our society and economy.
