I don't disagree, but easing up on drug crimes in any sense has been a slow and relatively new process.  Selling does have a violent aspect to it, which could be greatly alleviated by decriminalizing the stuff in the first place. I'm just not sure I'm 100% on board with the notion that one might have an easier time in court if you shot and killed an unarmed man because "reasons" than if you grew a bunch of weed in your backyard. That's sort of the oddness of our legal system, as I see it.

What's this topic about anyways?  I've steered things off track.
