Guns, butter, and gold

I originally read 50,000 prisoners would be released early last year, but it looks like 24,000 will get their wish.

Actually, I'm all for decriminalizing drug possession. It'll reduce the prison population, which is fine if the violations were non-violent. It'll also reduce the profit margins of the drug trade.

Disclosure: I do not condone use or abuse of controlled substances. I just think we should end the prohibition of recreational drugs. It didn't work for alcohol, and it's not working for controlled substances.
