#2 Good move by Sloppy Joe. People rotting in prison for non-violent drug "offenses" is a crime in itself. Commuting the sentences is better than nothing, but I'll give Sloppy Joe credit on this one.

Kinda side with JB on this one.
A typical day in prison costs the taxpayers between $150 and $500 depending on the state.

Yes! many are so loosely guarded that they also get drugs inside.

A person abusing their own body and not others, due to their addiction, should be treated 1st time. Treatment is a matter of around 90 days and costs the Taxpayers FAR LESS overall.

Also, shouldn't at least 50% of the 10's of Millions of $$$$ seized in drug busts be used for treatment, instead of letting the Politicians waste it?

Dealers of serious addicted drugs should be executed.

#4 Maybe arms dealers should be executed, too.

#5 A person abusing their own body and not others, due to their addiction, should be treated 1st time.

Should. But the sad reality is that nobody seems able to find money for it, so they just go on being untreated. And many turn to crime to support their habit, while others make the lives of those around them considerably more difficult — just like an alcoholic in the bosom of their family.

#6 a lot of these non violent drug offenses were the result of plea bargaining where charges included theft, robbery, assault, etc.

#9 Drug dealing Fentanyl is a non-violent drug offence per the president. It's actually attempted murder, or flat out murder, but lets feel sorry for them, make them look like victims, and let them out. All those that support this can explain to the families of those they kill with drugs how its non-violent.

#10 Thot I saw 80,000 dead from opioid ODs in US last year. Im not agreeing this is non violent.
