Thank you! And now please get
@chesaboudin & DA office to deal with open drug dealings next. Yes, addiction is not a crime, but they don’t commute to Palo Alto to buy drugs! The dealings are right there, OPENLY, in the TL. Please make it stop

Fact: approximately 20% of my general felony team's caseload are drug sales. We do prosecute these cases, everyday, for better or worse. As we've learned from the war on drugs after all these decades of failure: this is not a problem we can police or prosecute our way out of.

We show that the introduction of medical marijuana laws (MMLs) leads to a decrease in violent crime in states that border Mexico. The reduction in crime is strongest for counties close to the border (less than 350 kilometres)https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ecoj.12521 …
