Drugs are absolutely not decriminalized here. The supply is still irregular, violent, and fund criminal behavior. Decriminalization would mean an end to violence.

decriminalized is not legalization. The trade of drugs would still be "illegal" as it should be. There are zero consequences for people involved in the drug trade so far as our city's CJ system is concerned. We have de-facto decrim as it stands. The result Violence and Death.

I just want to point out how this conversation started, you asked why chesa was doing what he was, and I offered as a supporter to articulate it. I think neither of us has any expectation of me convincing you, just merely explaining why he might do so.

I asked how releasing drug dealers time and time again only to have them go back to drug dealing. is serving the community. I know what he is doing... he is doing nothing.

You asked not what he was doing but why, I think I have articulated that by having the drugs sold legally, you would no longer be placinng money in the hands of the lawless? But The justifications are varied. I am obviously neither chesa nor matt.https://twitter.com/RussTkr/status/1265770051342233600 …

I questioned the utility of what he was doing. Letting dealers walk time after time after time after time. My post was very clear. I know why he is doing it. He thinks locking up drug dealers is more harmful than allowing them the kill people with their product. Which is bonkers

Because as I sited in that article above, Vancouver had no deaths in their safe injection sites In placed where these drugs are legal they do not have these problems, there is a many thousand of year safe usage history.

Hard drugs are not legal in Canada. they have been decriminalized. This is a difference you seem to miss. The entire city of SF is a safe injection site.

San Francisco, Needs safe injection sites and does not have them. Safe injection sites mean that drug users are off our streets and into medical care, they dont die, they get encouraged to seek treatment and we do not have to deal with them on the street.
