@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

Replying to @chezpim @MattHaneySF
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.

Can you be more specific? Why is war on drugs a failure? What do other countries do? Is there an example of a city or country that doesn't prosecute drug dealing and it works...?
