Seems like more liberal stupid in action. im all for legalizing it and if its some guy that got caught with a pound fine release him but most people that get caught with a pound or less don't get real time., if you're in prison for drugs your probably not the kind of person that should be loose in society. So are they releasing them on a case by case basis? And who decides what merits release? What's the line we draw that keeps criminals off the street? I mean now that we don't follow the law any more.

A lot of convictions are just for possession, not for things like driving under the influence which would be dangerous to the public. And now that it's legal to possess marijuana there, they'd have done nothing illegal at all under the current law. Thus, they can't be considered criminals anymore. If we did keep them locked up, we'd no longer have a valid reason for doing so.

We have a very valid reason to keep them locked up not because of what law they broke but because they broke the law. when your dealing with drugs its not just the weed its the hole black market thats involved. say tom sells weed gets caught with 8 ounces and goes to jail poor tom but its not just him a large part or the weed comes from south america now your talking cartels and they kill people. if everyone followed the law no cartel no murder. so tom might not have killed some one but he is part of it not because of what law he broke but because he broke the law. this is a very simplified explanation. and personally i'm all for legalizing it hell im all for legalizing all drugs id rather step over a dead junkie then see another innocent kid killed in the cross fire. your body do what you want with it.

weed isn't coming from south of the border into California anymore, and it hasn't been for awhile. If you are in SF, your weed is coming from the Emerald Triangle most likely. Now, whether or not it's coming from illegal, unregulated grows is an entirely different matter, one that has now been addressed with legalization though.
