Good. Now the remaining 89,000 people who are in prison because of minor drug offenses. If Biden doesn't pardon them, he's a hypocrite.

π― If you care about reducing gang activity, shutting down black markets, reducing harm, death, and addiction; certifying the ingredients and strengths in a given product, and producing revenue that can be used to educate drug users to reduce their consumption, and fund harm reduction and healthcare initiatives; then legalizing drugs is the only option. The fact that politicians donβt go this route is a testament to the fact that they donβt want any of these things. They want a military state where they can use drug-use/possession against those who they have nothing else on. The war on drugs is a key piece of the systemic racism/classism built into the American legal system. And it makes me wonder if they would have ever change it, even for the $$$ it would bring in every year.

The would be against decriminalization without a legalization framework, and they will surely push to have special rights that will guarantee their monopolies, but thatβs US capitalism

Honestly, I think the pharmaceutical industry will probably lobby FOR drug legalization. They are prime candidates to handle the testing and distribution of these products.
