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.)

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
