Same. I'd been lulled into thinking, hey, we've got California-style med pot now, that'll do. Learning about these imprisonments has lit a fire under me to make sure we finish the job. Or at least get full decriminalization of drug *use* (possession for use and home growing etc).

Arresting people because the drugs we're holding for personal use are bad (mmm'kay?), is like arresting people for the cake in our pantry because it's unhealthy. It really annoys me that Labour didn't listen to us and make the referendum a 2 part question, one on recreational use, one on recreational sales. Also that they didn't go ahead with decrim despite the result, because the referendum they ran wasn't about that.
