Many states have 'solved' the problem of locking up thousands of people for marijuana violations by just legalizing it. Colorado legalized marijuana in 2014, seems fine so far. Now even Arizona (where possession was a felony a week ago) is jumping on the bandwagon.
Seems to be working out. Maybe it is that easy.
We'll see what happens in Oregon. Check back in a year. It will be the continuation of an experiment Colorado started, and which has yielded overwhelmingly positive results so far.
