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 …

"Enforcement is likely to be more effective in prevent- ing the formation of a mass market than in suppressing such a market once it has formed. Once a mass market is established, there may be little return to intense enforcement. "

"A modest level of enforcement may gener- ate most of the benefits from prohibition." I don't know what a modest level of enforcement looks like though.
