re: 21,000 Drug convictions to be tossed after drug lab tech pleads guilty to tampering

This is the great country we live in. We spent millions putting 21,000 wrongfully people away -- most of which had to do with pot. Ruined a lot of lives. And now we have crackhead Sessions running the AG office talking about reigniting the war on drugs.

To be fair, we don't know if all 21k were wrongful convictions. I agree that she's awful and that you have to toss every case she worked on but odds are many of the people she tested were guilty.

That said, I agree that the WoD is crap and Sessions needs to back the hell off of starting it back up. The fact that he puts pot on the same level of heroin is pathetic and can only mean he is woefully and willfully misinformed or is completely bought by the prison industry and big pharma. Either way I don't have much hope that the current WoD will end w/him in charge.
