I guess we could double the prison population in this country by locking up more people for nonviolent crimes. How’s that boot

How about forced treatment for all those human beings who are dying on the streets from nonviolent crimes?! Not everything has to be about prisons, you know... We need to help them heal & be productive to society, not encourage their deadly behavior with consumption sites!

Yeah, because seeing people rotting and dying on the streets is much much more humane and better alternative for those poor weak souls. The radical liberal mind at its best...pic.twitter.com/cD4uRNmQrG

I think we should cure them, but sometimes they need to be ready. We should make safe intoxicants available, and trust our scientists that they offer effective paths away from addictions.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25563446/
