The short answer...
Nothing. Maybe some early releases, mass conditonal paroles* and nullified sentences for Non violent offenders. Won't matter anyway. The damage is done and most people will probably wanna go right back after failing to sustain the cost of living since most Americans w/o rap sheet can barely making ends meet. We know damn well ain't no one getting an apartment for $15/hr, sorry... $8/hr.
The Reason we are all FUBAR...(The Long Answer)
The US government has far too much overreach in every aspect of the citizens lives, and their hands in every pocket. This is and has done nothing but get progressively worse over the course of the last 40 or 50 years, which started with
The Harrison Act(1914). It assigned races to drugs and was the precursor to
The Control Substances Act(1970) which assigned prison sentences to the drugs and associated races.
The minorites/poor stay suffocated in criminal injustice, addiction, disease, and poverty. Causing their quality of life to systemically diminish over generations, forcing them turn to addiction and crime because they're caught in a revolving door system that was never designed to handle a public health problem. They capitalized on moral failure (which is bullshit)and suffering, and through this well oiled machine's socioeconomic downturn, still managed to reap a profit from misery. Essentially making the poor, even poorer... and the rich even richer. That is the main reason drugs will never be totally legal and nothing will ever really get accomplished when it comes to drug policy. It's not a criminal justice problem. It's a money problem, and the a massive void of education and public health resources. Until it properly addressed a such we will continue to see lives destroyed by drugs and billions to be made off of their illegality.
The answer is fucking elementary, just decriminalize and and do fair tax regulation, the same way that tobacco and alcohol are. Prison sentences nullified for nonviolent offenders conditionally that they cannot retain civil lawsuits. I mean, we have to draw the line somewhere. But that's too big of a loss for them and they'll do just about anything to prevent that. We have just built up too much around criminalizing our behavior and stigmatizing the drug slash criminal archetype. The two are now synonymous.
So by any means, they must keep this status quo. Inciting civil unrest by infusing and spreading race hatred, political views , religion and sexual orientation propaganda. They assimilate their nonsense, lies and hate unto us any way they can. And the reason is simple, Because it's an effective distraction. It takes the attention away from what is really going on... a race to the bottom for poverty and Third World status with plumbing. Funny how much of the "richest" country in the world looks like a scene from resident evil with homeless zombies walking around in groves through deteriorating cities.
Where is all that money going? All those cash and property seizures? All those taxes that get paid with money that we print out. It's a fucking joke. Why are children so stupid? They can't even read and they keep cutting education budgets across the nation. They want our children, stupid and ignorant. They don't teach them important things like finances and chemistry anymore. Our infrastructure is crumbling and our roads riddled with potholes. But you can put your ass that tax from your city is on your paycheck every fucking week. This country has become the exact thing that it has ran from when it was forged from resistance to empirical rule. It is ruling its citizens empirically in invading every aspect of their lives. Telling them what they can and can't do with their children, with the chemicals they buy or drug they can't put into their bodies. And these nefarious groups continue to push these agendas constantly in the background while all the bullshit fighting in the forefront is what gets the headlines.
Fuck drug policy...how about the way they teach slavery to children? It should be a crime against humanity I because little white children grow up filled with guilt and little black children grow up being taught to be victims. They failed to mention it began with Arabs and Africans and any African-American professor will tell you the exact same thing. But no, they allocated a whole month to remind us of how shitty of a country we are. Why is there no Indigenous history month or Jewish history month? This country is a fucking joke. That's why everybody's laughing at us. That's why everybody hates Americans. We are so proud right?
Well, you know what they say. Pride comes before fall. Don't hold your breath for drug policy changes or anything truly positive while the people that are in power hold the keys to the gates.
