If you're talking about drug possession, then I agree, and it's pretty quickly becoming a non-issue. What DA is going hard on drug possession in 2022? The only qualification I'd make is that I think a prohibition on use for parolees is totally unobjectionable and this is an area where criminal justice reformers lose the plot. Probation and parole are just that -- you're by definition under a watchful eye. The state is saying, in effect, you have not yet demonstrated to us that you can handle free society and until you have you can't get drunk or high. Not only does that strike me as totally reasonable, I'd say that anyone who finds themselves in that situation who nevertheless figures, "why not just get drunk/high, anyway" is a person sending a strong signal that the court was wrong to trust them. Imagine yourself on parole. Would you risk it? Exactly.
