And unfortunately, the few drug-related reforms that have been prioritized betray a superficial understanding of both the law and our criminal justice system.
And while it's true that fewer people are serving long prison sentences for weed than they were a decade ago, our draconian and ever-expanding system of collateral consequences means that a marijuana-related encounter can easily result in eviction, student loan ineligibility, and the impossibility of ever being able to access gainful employment.
