there is quite a few things about this stuff that is just so authentically neoliberal and bad. it's a step in the right direction but two steps back in a way i guess? or maybe 1 step to the side. I also found it interesting only like 4k people or so are effected by this. especially when our prison population is so obscenely large the number feels very bad. I've reckoned that many weed charges are just for weed and they'll tac on distribution charges or some other side thing which is exempting thousands of more people. like i appreciate some folks are finally being relived of the stupid drug war but part of me is thinking this is the last change we'll see for a long time again for this awful "war"
