Covid has certainly changed the landscape, but if there are 30 drug dealers who have been working on the same handful of street corners for 36 months, that is a failure of epic proportions.

Not only Chesa of course, but he has taken it and is running with it, and doesn't seem concerned with responsibility for bad results. Lots of podcasts, grand sweeping Tweets, interviews, and other celebrity shit. I want a boring a public servant who is does their job.

He really seems to be running a national campaign, which makes sense when we consider most of his donors were out of state

Getting tough on crime doesn’t reduce drug use, or decrease drug overdoses. It doesn’t even seem to reduce the price, though it does increase the potency. Public dealing is perhaps a nuisance that belongs indoors but decriminalization is the best policy.

Does prosecuting drug dealers reduce drug use? As far as I can tell, illegal drug dealing is only legal in SF and it has extremely high fentanyl deaths

Prosecuting drug dealers has no impact on drug use whatsoever. At least in the US. Caning and prohibition work on Singapore but we aren’t an island state.

"Prosecuting drug dealers has no impact on drug use whatsoever. At least in the US. "?? This is wildly untrue.

This is a simplistic analysis about incarceration, not about allowing open air black market drug dealing

As far as I know, no such research exists.

What I've heard a lot is that criminal researches don't exactly know why crime trended down over recent decades. But they definitely don't say incarceration doesn't have any effect
