With the legalization of pot, will we see any reparations for those who have had their lives destroyed by drug laws?

Asked by thisismyusername (2940points) January 5th, 2018

Will we just move on and forget the countless lives that were ruined by these unjust drug policies? There are race and class implications here. The well off might welcome the variety and ease of turning their wine tastings into marijuana parties. But I suspect there would be some resentment among those who have had their families destroyed by the laws of the past.

Colorado and/or California people – did the legalization of recreational marijuana accompany any real justice guidelines for previous violations?
