To add insult to injury, “legal” immigrants with past drug convictions now face deportation, no matter how long they’ve been here or how long ago said convictions were. Ask me how I know
@mskellymhayes.bsky.socialLocking people up for using drugs will never make sense to me. The people I've known who've used drugs, in spite of the threat of severe consequences, did so bc they are not/were not okay. Locking people in dungeons traumatizes them further and makes these patterns even harder to break.
