It seems like a 'blanket pardon' for anyone who has no other offenses beyond dealing something that is now legal could go a little way towards helping fix this.

It seems like a 'blanket pardon' for anyone who has no other offenses beyond dealing something that is now legal could go a little way towards helping fix this. It also seems that reforms of sentencing where the maximum penalty was grossly disproportionate (think crack vs cocaine) could have retroactive implementation as well (downgrading spurious felonies to misdemeanors). Not saying you can give people back the trajectory of their lives, of course, but it might help at the margins.
