That is the whole issue with the criminalization of drug consumption it creates all kind of societal issues and it screws up other areas that at one time where and still should be reasonable. It get compounded with laws like the 3 strike rule where you get hit with 3 small non-violent offenses and then they can really jack up the charges and get you on a felony.
I am all for true felons loosing their right to vote. I don't want people that have run ponzi schemes, violent high volume drug dealers or pedophiles to have the right to participate in the society I live in. I think it is criminal that some meth head that gets slapped with a felony for having a little too much on them goes to prison, gets out, turns around their life and now cannot participate fully in society due to poor laws.
