>Attitudes are changing quickly

Are they now? Tell me, which political party is planning on decriminalizing drug offenses?

>>Daniha+cJ
Just because political parties haven't kept up doesn't mean attitudes aren't changing quickly.

In fact, if attitudes are changing fast enough, you'd expect political parties to be notably behind the curve.

Only about 10% of people support legalizing harder drugs. They will remain illegal, and people will continue getting felonies.

So... I don't believe that "these attitudes are changing quickly."

Man, just admit your comment was snarky and be done with it!

>>raarts+xT
It's not snarky, it's just reality. These felonies in question are either from violent crimes, which will always be illegal and a stain on someone's record, or from possessing hard drugs / selling drugs / or committing crimes associated with the black market due to the war on drugs. Obviously, from what I posted, the harder drugs will likely always be illegal and most people continue to support that.

We aren't "making progress" when 90% of people surveyed want to physically put me in a cage for years for having a few hits of LSD in my pocket, or for selling steroids to gym buddies.
