Got a source for the lower number of incarcerations. I've been warming up to the idea of voting for Harris instead of against Trump and that would be another + for her.
You better believe I do:
'Conviction rate aside, only 45 people were sentenced to state prison for marijuana convictions during Harris’ seven years in office, compared with 135 people during Hallinan’s eight years, according to data from the state corrections department. That only includes individuals whose most serious conviction was for marijuana.'

That was a very enlightening read. Thank you for sharing.
