You gotta replace all the people that would have went to jail for weed somehow, made for profit prisons need customers don't they?
Look at the bright side, Americans can compete with other countries that use similar means to provide cheap prices for the consumers and fat profits for the business owners providing those goods,
Let's see how easy it is now for both (the consumer and the business owner alike) to wash their hands of any ethical or moral responsibility when it happens in their back yard as opposed to some foreign worker in another country who both exploited without second thoughts.
Instead of discipline as a response, why not look at the actual cause that started the addiction in the first place. Most of the hardest hit areas by heroin epidemic were low income, rural parts of America. Places where manufacturing and physical labor got pulled out for cheaper labor or automation elsewhere. Or for other sources of raw materials (IE natural gas instead of coal). They lost their jobs and were left with nothing. So they turned to drugs to fill the void.
These people had nothing to lose in the first place so lording prison sentences over their head isn't a solution.
Why, aren't they just all a bunch of conservative brain defective deplorables, they should have gone to college and gotten an education, besides who do they think they are wanting an employer to pay them a living wage with benefits for their barely high school educated brains, according to the liberal establishment that only applies to inner city burger flippers that vote Democrat.
Remember the jealousy of west and east coast college educated liberals complaining about how some barely high school educated hick union worker in the midwest as well as elsewhere had equal or better pay and benefits than them, they were loving it when those free trade agreements as well as the Reagan Amnesty broke the unions and the pay of those deplorables while at the same time giving those college educated ivory tower elites not just their cheap prices but their self esteem back.
And here we are today, most of those card carrying union workers that had decent jobs and voted mostly Democrat are waning while the no job no hope, drug addicted deplorables are waxing and voting Republican as well as the Trumps of the world, and they don't give a damn if he burns down their neighborhood down as long as he burns down some of the liberal establishments neighborhoods at the same time.
