Again, his reasoning is stupid. There is no need to "rehabilitate" someone (not funded by the State anyway) if they aren't even put into jail.
I do like the idea of lessening the penalties for minor stuff. I don't like spending money to lock up potheads. Let them sit around eating cookies and being worthless.

You can "rehabilitate" someone with the threat of jail. Probation isn't a bad idea for people who made a mistake and aren't planning a career in crime. When done right - which means enforced - it is a wake up call.
