    Because it disproportionately targets minorities and the poor…being the big obvious one.

      I made the post you responded to before he edited his post to say “The war on drugs is a load of bullshit.” I wasn’t asking about that bit. And I agree with that bit.

      I was asking “how so?” about his statement that “this is actually good news.”

      But I don’t really see how this pardon is any move to weaken or end the war on drugs.

      When I have more time, I might see about responding to OP’s “sigh” post in this thread with more.

        Honestly, I think people should be able to buy pharmaceuticals from wherever they want. They should be able to seek help from a medical professional on why/why not to take X, Y, Z – but that would at least open up competition to lower drug prices.
