I understand that the sponsor, and those who have supported this legislation had the best of intentions, I really do. But I cannot, in good conscience allow regions to potentially imprison those Atlasians who struggle with drug use. About a year ago I wrote a bill entitled: The Prison Reform Act, with the view of overhauling our legal system. A reform with The People in mind, a reform that aimed to drastically reduce the number of Atlasians imprisoned, and reduce the time spent in prison. If certain drugs are re-criminalized even by the regions, then the whole purpose of these reforms may suffer. Prison sentences accomplish nothing positive for the lives of drug addicts. I do not do this because I do not care about those Atlasians struggling with addictions, but because I do.
