LOL. “Something something national problem.” SF apologists love to point national statistics and overlook the horrific local evidence. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”https://twitter.com/stuz5000/status/1424518348725915648 …

Almost every fentanyl overdose is a homicide that the city hides from the statistics. If someone says they are selling you a Dr Pepper, and it has some other medicine in it that stops your heart, and you die, that is a homicide. Period.

Drug addiction is a Public Health problem, not a criminal justice problem. Prohibition doesn’t work: arresting uses doesn’t work not does arresting dealers. It never has and there are literally reams of studies backing this up.

I’ll disagree with one thing here. Harm reduction does clearly work in the context of its narrow goals, namely reducing secondary harms. So for instance, needle exchanges clearly work in slowing the spread of HIV among users.

Well, when I was in college if you gave our fraternity free booze. We would drink it and ask for more. Hence, an alcoholic will not change. If you give free needles they end up in Parks and in the sewer, helping to destroy the eco- system. So, it actually increases harm inho
