      I clearly understand the incarceration alternatives for drug use, but I am less clear on the alternative strategies for drug manufacture, drug dealing and hoarding weapons. Are you proposing we just let it happen and go on our way? Decriminalize? Perhaps you can enlighten me.

      "“Decriminalizing drugs is even more urgent now than in 1972, but we must recognize that the harm done in the interim cannot be wiped out,... Postponing decriminalization will only make matters worse, and make the problem appear even more intractable.” --Milton Friedman, 1989,

      Mankind's relationship with drugs has stretched the length of recorded history. I think I door venues of sale, standards of circumstances, product, purity, and significant taxation are appropriate. As has been the case with marijuana I hope legal product our competes illegal.

      In my view were heavily into unintended consequences, of the iron law of prohibition. The war on drugs like the war on Afghanistan has failed, but the blowback is on our streets. Decriminalize to get safer to use less potent drugs.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_prohibition#:~:text=The%20iron%20law%20of%20prohibition,%2C%20the%20harder%20the%20drugs.%22 …

      It's important to ask what are the results of our proposed actions. Upon systematic review, science explains that enforcement, leads to more violence in addition to more usage, addiction, overdoses and lawlessness.

      I wonder why that’s not working in places like SF that has effectively decriminalized fentanyl usage, in some cases enabled it, and yet seems to be sliding further into a drug-homeless-crime spiral. I’m all for solutions that work, but I haven’t seen it yet.

      SF has absolutely not decriminalized drugs, our system of prohibition still in force is just counterproductive. Actually decriminalize drugs, and they will be sold indoors, and consumed in safe socially acceptable settings like alcohol is.

      @ProvacativePrag , A question in return, since your fond of pragmatic solutions that work. Has prohibition ever worked? Has the last 40 years of drug war, trillions of dollars, and litany of civil right abuses worked? are we free of drugs and addiction?https://twitter.com/equalityAlec/status/1394702502122115078?s=20 …

      in your experience, has 40 years of the most unhinged incarceration the modern world has ever seen worked? has it made everyone magically safe and ended violence?

      I’m not sure. I don’t know if drugs were legalized say 30-40 years ago whether we’d have a shit ton more addicts, dependents and general derelicts than we do today. I’d prefer not to be the county that experiments with it though. However, I’m willing to give up SF for the cause.

      Interestingly, while prohibition was reversed, alcohol contributes to more deaths than anything else outside of smoking and maybe obesity. It’s difficult to outlaw stupidity, I guess

      Important to notice the effects on society today of this iron law. With teenagers preferring liquor in this country compared with adults and teenagers of other countries preferring beer or wine, these "softer" less potent alcohols are less dangerous & overdoses are less frequent.
