That is a terrific trend to be sure.. I'll not put that feather in O's cap though I think a significant factor is the grass roots change in the decriminalization of pot use There simply isn't much enthusiasm in the prosecutorial establishment to lock folks up for what is becoming a legally accepted practice in an expanding portion of the US I think that even if your state hasn't gotten on the bandwagon, the wisdom of expending the effort and incurring the expense of prosecuting and incarcerating folks for the petty pot crimes of previous years is being seriously re-examined Chalk a big one up for NORML....not Obama

I regret that conspirators in bankster racket weren't more aggressively prosecuted by Justice for fraud, among other things. The crimes had low risk and high ROI. The uber wealthy perps are golfing by day, and going to nightly parties in their Bentleys and the like. Incarceration is possibly not the best thing for white collar crims; but at minimum the wealth should be returned plus penalties; to PUBLIC education, the DOJ corporate financial crimes folks and the SEC etc. Oh, but good luck finding where they stashed the loot. And we all suspect the next robbery is coming to your town, soon... And did I mention, they also harm and honest financial enterprises?
