Drug possession in Ca gets downgraded... sort of

[spraynpray]

A new law in California makes possession of certain controlled substances a misdemeanor charge instead of the previously classified felony charge. Drugs such as heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine are now misdemeanors however if found in possession of controlled substances that require a prescription such as testosterone or a single Vicodin you still face felony charges if I read the measure correctly. Im not sure I understand the logic here. Thoughts...

If the idea here is to prevent overcrowding in jails shouldn't possession of ANY controlled substance receive the same penalty? I'm not a big conspiracy theorist but there is a stench of "Big Pharma" attached to this haha

i agree spray. big pharm is driving the idea behind this because it is taking money out of their pockets. to think you get more stiff of a penalty for having meth than test is absolutely absurd. cali is so lib i am surprised they havent made everything a minor infraction. hell it isnt even illegal to be illegal in cali so i would lean toward the fact that the big money people that drive the bus behind the scenes have a lot to do with this

I know it blows my mind BABY! And on top of it as the State works feverishly to take our second amendment rights away, this law downgrades theft of a weapon under $950 to a simple ticket!

I guess morale of the story, if you want to build your body and improve your overall health and well-being= felony; If you want to suck the life right out of you to where you become dependent on the government for support do to your addiction to powerful narcotics and methamphetamines= ehhh a ticket.
