Yes but the actual experience of being in the netherlands, drugs are available on the street more readily than here. Unlike here and as the iron law of prohibition predicts, softer less potent forms are dominant, and so overdoses are rare. https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/opioids/netherlands-free-heroin-distribution-program-could-serve-as-possible-model-for-us.html …

Your loss, the Science is remarkably consistent, and it not anecdotes are how we should make public policy choices. There is no coherent, educated, or scientifically based position in support of more incarceration, or this failed drug war.https://twitter.com/ScottHech/status/1435746270140723201 …

Scott HechingerVerified account @ScottHechThere aren't "two sides" on the current question of public health & safety. Data tells us, clearly, that spending trillions on policing over decades has failed to make communities healthier & safer. And the data we have on alternatives shows far better results. That's it.Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 2 likes -

This really doesn't make it sound like SF. Where are the fentanyl dealers, open use and street deaths?

Replying to @3Sentinel4 @the_watcher and
Fentanyl dealers are a predictable result of prohibition of safer less potent substances. It's prohibition not the drugs themselves that are dangerous, countries with less draconian enforcement have less, addiction,overdoses, lawlessness and violence in their communities.

So then why so many fentanyl deaths if it's the enforcement that's dangerous? There's no enforcement in SF

We have so many deaths in SF because of our enforcement, in the netherlands or portugal where there is no enforcement, people substitute less dangerous drugs, and fentanyl is much less common.https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1279449608033316865?lang=en …
