Wait, @chesaboudin said #CrimeIsDown?
This literal mile of 720 corpses wasn't included in SF’s 2020 crime stats. Addicts not treated like real people by the DA? I'm shocked.

People who do drugs make a choice to do it. No one is forcing them. The War on Drugs has been an even more abysmal failure than the War in Afghanistan.

Drug addiction is a Public Health problem, not a criminal justice problem. Prohibition doesn’t work: arresting uses doesn’t work not does arresting dealers. It never has and there are literally reams of studies backing this up.

Harm Reduction saves lives, but it doesn’t reduce addiction. I think that helps but you might differ.
