But I'm not sure the DAs job is to be working on "addictions" His job is law enforcement Not social services

I guess to that I might then ask what is the purpose of the da? Seems to me his job is to pick the solutions that are most effective and least costly to our society. When each of us is illegal the da's job becomes one the requires a lot of discretion.

So the da should have no discretion? Be forced to punish anyone charged with what the maximum possible penality? How is that just or financially feasible?

Then I don't understand, you want the da to address the drug dealers, believe he should have discretion, but don't believe his job allows him to have discretion in this case?
