Eh we shall see I believe it's a bit naive thinking that's Obama's ideology, the man is so cryptic I think only handful of people know what the hell he is doing.

PolitiFact.com recently gave President Obama a “promise kept” on a drug enforcement policy change.
In 2007, Senator Obama promised to send first-time drug offenders to rehab instead of jail. Obama wanted to treat drugs as more of a health issue than a law enforcement issue.
PolitiFact.com stated: “The administration has supported drug courts, which allow low-level drug offenders to have their charges dropped if they successfully complete a court-monitored treatment program.”
The drug courts mostly apply to local and state level drug crimes because most federal drug offenders are serious and usually involve the selling of drugs.

The Obama administration estimates that 120,000 people were sent to treatment instead of jail, reports PoliticusUSA.com.

120,000? I will wait and see what the Department of Justice announces to see just exactly what Obama's vision is.
