A bill to end criminal penalties for drug possession at the federal level was unveiled by Democrats on Tuesday, ahead of the 50th anniversary when President Richard Nixon declared the "war on drugs."


The Drug Policy Reform Act (DPRA) would decriminalize personal use possession of all scheduled drugs—including marijuana, heroin and cocaine—and automatically expunge records and provide for resentencing for those serving time for certain drug-related arrests. It would also prohibit the denial of employment, immigration status, public benefits, voting rights, and more based upon a criminal history for drug possession.

Im not at all hopeful this pass both houses

but… it’s a sign of the times. People are waking up to the bullshit. I think ill see it in my lifetime at the very least
 
I think it has a chance. Why such a glum lot? Oregon did it. Why not the rest? If anything this will at least prompt the more democratic states to do it at the state level. I'm actually really surprised at how quickly the States is getting some of it's shit together on this level. I know it's still horrible in some places, but in others it's going quite smoothly. I'm kind of proud and I'm out of the country.
 
More of a glum outlook on Congressional efficiency in general


maybe once the MORE act passes I’ll be more hopeful :)
 
I just noticed you have a teletubby on your profile. I like you, lol 🥰
 
The teletubbies could use somedecriminalization. Safe supply would be another step. Then instead of hustling for toxic street supply, maybe they'll finally go home to hear their mothers tell them to "stop sticking your dick in the vacuum cleaner!"




Now back on topic please.
 
Not in our lifetimes gents; do you know how many for-profit prisons would go out of business? They're not gonna have that, that'd be un-American! Shuttering private businesses like that, damned Commies.

Socialism is terrible. I hate how I have a sidewalk to walk to the Salvation Army, any of its services. Those roads are even worse. Silly cars and their people freely going to get their welfare cheques at their jobs. Those jobs I dont want or am not educated enough to get yet those damn immigrants are taking them all. Ive gotta keep up with the joneses even though I only care if I look cool or not and have a big enough mortgage and VISA to get those material goods. Damn social system. Take a bus but bail me out first!

A man after my own heart
 
I don’t foresee it happening but as said it’s a sign of things to come. If it does happen I may gain a tiny bit more respect for this country.

Awesome.

But I'm 1000% sure that the republicans will block it immediately.
 
So as a side topic to this, a question to drug users and addicts who have been characterized as criminals by unjust laws like these, with a law change like this proposed one how would it effect your self image and ability to commit real crime?
