re: #301 erik_t

Dismissed with a wave of the pen because it was illegal at the time. I don’t know of anyone suggesting retroactive legalization.

re: #304 Kragar (Antichrist )

Yeah, except in possible a few extreme examples, I don’t see anyone getting any compensation or reparations out of legalization occurring.

Disagree in part. Oh, not wholesale, but I do see a lot of them occurring. The egregious nature of some of these is, after all, part of what’s driving the legalization movement. Joe, carrying two ounces, sees his parents’ home seized by the police because it’s “in connection”. Mary, who was caught carrying but refuses to turn in anyone else, gets the additional charges of conspiracy to traffic (and some others).

In the end, the purpose of law is to serve justice, not to control it. Or so our philosophy of law holds. There will be a lot that won’t happen, but many of the more egregious will be relieved at least in part.
