This is a step in the right direction. The war on drugs is an abject failure. I'd like to see him commute everyone that qualifies, i.e. non-violent, excessive sentences, etc. before he leaves office.
Right. A step. I'd imagine that a good number of these should have been pardons. For example. There are over 11,000 people in federal prison for marijuana offenses[0]. Unbelievable.
