    It is already solved in 24 US States. The federal government hasn’t done shit, so the States changed the laws themselves. Of course that doesn’t resolve issues like drug tests for federal jobs, or questionnaires for firearms purchases, but those are edge cases that don’t affect most people.

      I assume you mean the problem of going to prison for a little weed, right? Or are private prisons illegal in 24 states? That would be news to me.

      That’s okay we just replaced them with homeless people who are charged with assaulting a police officer after the 5th time they’ve watched their entire life go into a trash bin.

      Not solved until it’s federally legal, those “edge cases” effect a lot more people than you’d think, and add in the non-legal states who’re also affected. 24 isn’t even half.
