Societal tolerance of the druggies (we are not talking about the 60’s hippies smoking a joint or two) changed. Obama directly tells us imprisonment for ‘non-violent’ drug dealers is not ‘the best use of our prison facilities’, and in fact he released some criminals just to make his point.
Don't even get me start on churches and sanctuary cities.
I hear you, and there’s very close to no such thing as a ‘non-violent’ drug dealer.
