Criminalising people for possession of small amount of drugs makes no sense.

“Let me tell you what I think! Criminalising people for possession of small amount of drugs makes no sense. It’s damaging to the person and to our society. It’s expensive, ineffective and unnecessary, and it causes marginalisation rather than inclusion. We need to decriminalise and we need to do it soon.”
