I'm not religious about the "safe consumption" sites. What I do care about is that
@sfbos and@LondonBreed cannot admit that their anti-drug policy has failed spectacularly. I do care that they don't instead introduce policies that work.1 reply 1 retweet 4 likes -

One, charge and jail drug dealers. Two, criminalize hard drug use so we can put addicts before the choice, rehab or jail.

One has been tried and failed. It has never worked when tried according to the studies I can find. I am not opposed to it in principal but I wonder if there is some other way to make street drugs more expensive. I like a carrot and stick approach to addicts. Jails are expensive.

A dealer that sits in jail cannot kill addicts. I'd love to see the research if you have the links handy.

You’ll find it in the same library section where research for harm reduction effectively deals with drug addiction is.

Thank you, interesting. It is perhaps worth noting that this argument for not jailing dealers is not
@chesaboudin's argument. His argument is that b/c dealers might be victims of human trafficking, we must treat them with kid gloves.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Here is a study that shows that even in the periods of the highest enforcement, drugs costs went down. It's kind of old so doesn't include the impact of Fentanyl. https://reuter.it-prod-webhosting.aws.umd.edu/sites/default/files/reuter/files/Drug%20Enforcement%20and%20Drug%20Price.pdf …

I agree that the claim that drug dealers are somehow victims is asinine. Targeted drug enforcement would at least drive it of our street corners where it contributes to violence and lawlessness.
