I'm mildly hopeful to see what a bipartisan effort can do for the massive prison population. It follows that drug treatment is obviously preferable to jail.

Removing marijuana from Schedule 1 would be a smart start, along with reforming the banking regulations so they can deal with marijuana providers in states that allow it. I don't think there's any big public push to go full Portugal on all drugs.
