    All the comments in this thread are focused on drugs but the bigger issue is that maybe we should not have non-violent felonies ruin a person’s whole life. When you do the time after the crime and get released you are still being punished forever. That’s the real injustice! A non-violent felony should be forgiven or expunged after a certain time.

      The president elect is doing just fine with his convictions (I’m sorry to bring politics up here, but it does seem relevant.)

        We can send him messages. I have already. If he gets enough messages for something he might work to change it. Sure he’s a wild card who keeps bad friends, but at least he’s not a sell out.

            Is it bad that I zeroed in on the can of coconut milk and thought about how much I’d like some coconut milk right now?

              No, because my mind went to the pic of the McDonalds feast. One of them anyway.

            Selfish acts are often disguised at selfless.

      Other than maybe serious white collar crime, because it can often lead to a bunch of suicides.

      Though even then, once they’ve done their time (and hopefully received a lot of counselling, and not treated like an animal in prison) maybe the even they deserve to reintegrate into society.

      Maybe human rights should be universal. My hot take haha
