Question About the Drug Laws?

Question by The Groove: Question about the drug laws?
Should possession of under 2 grams of meth or cocaine (powder and crack) be considered a misdemeanor instead of a felony? I don’t do drugs but I don’t think a small amount of meth or cocaine should be a felony cause most of those who possess that much aren’t those who are dealing.

Answer by AcetheRace
I think powdered cocaine (up to 5 grams) should be a Class B misdemeanor possession instead of a felony but I think all amounts of crack and meth should still remain a felony.

Answer by Cole
should it? that question will inspire a lot of debate.
it really is just opinion.
personally, i support rehab over jail time-studies have shown that putting drug offenders through a rehab program usually cures their addiction-and means they are much less likely to be arrested again.
to quote a song:

Why?
All research and successful drug policy shows
That treatment should be increased
Why?
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences
