  Yeah, and some of those pro-drug laws are likely going to be walked back. To be honest, I'm not sure what has actually been happening. People claim hardcore drug (ie, cocaine, meth, etc., NOT marijuana) use has gotten worse, but I don't know if it's actually backed up by statistics. I've always believed that drug possession and use should not be illegal, but that rehab programs should be well-funded and free, and only distribution of drugs should be criminal. Addicts are victims that need help, while sellers are enablers. I get the impression that the decriminalization happened without the adequate health services to help people. Alternatively, many addicts simply don't want help. But I openly admit that these opinions are based on feelings, and I don't know if drug use and the associated problems increased.
