The Justice Department plans to change how it prosecutes some non-violent drug offenders, so they would no longer face mandatory minimum prison sentences, in an overhaul of federal prison policy that Attorney General Eric Holder will unveil on Monday.

:hatsoff: You beat me to it. It's about time, eh?

Chicago? Georges, did you read the story? Federal means "all of 'Murica" - not just Chi-town.


Under the new federal policy, which stems from a review Holder ordered this year, U.S. attorneys will no longer bring charges that include lengthy mandatory minimum prison terms in cases of "low-level, nonviolent drug offenders who have no ties to large-scale organizations, gangs or cartels," Holder planned to announce.

did anyone watch the Sanjay Gupta segment about his admission to the medical benefits of medical weed? Sanjay was very much against it for years and after doing the research he has admitted that it's very much effective.

Even the person who was on disputing these findings acknowledged that it is far less harmful than alcohol.

I agree with the legalization of pot. But remember that, for example, opiates of all kinds are presently legal as prescriptions, and there is no shortage of people addicted to them. Pot is only as harmless as the individual allows it to be...the same as any drug. Or activity for that matter.
