The war is over

OK, The "drug war" isn't over, but President Obama has taken significant steps, with AG Holder, to curtail some of the most egregious and damaging aspects of
the government's drug prohibition policies.
The AG has begun a process to reduce the harm caused by mandatory sentencing for minor drug offences.
As Holder pointed out, the harsh enforcement of drug prohibition policies has mainly impacted minority communities.
It was suggested that rehabilitation would be more beneficial for non-violent offenders than prison.
It would be more cost effective, as well.
Apparently this shift in attitude is shared by both parties.

This is change you can believe in.
