      Our failed and counter-producctive system of prohibition is driving overdoses partially because its prohibiition of safer less potent substances drives opiate users to more potent fentanyl. #EndTheWarOnDrugs to eliminate overdoses.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_prohibition …

      Paul Retweeted Prison Policy Init.

      Other than general racism, and that seeing poor people makes you really really really uncomfortable, there can be no possible justification for why we need to incarcerate an order of magnitude more people than our European peers. #EndMassIncarcerationhttps://mobile.twitter.com/PrisonPolicy/status/1435634041353486346 …

      Paul is not me, and while we agree on the need to end Drug Prohibition, we disagree on some other things.

      We hardly have some extreme drug prohibition going on these days. But even the most drug friendly countries do no allow open air drug markets and use

      Do you mean in the US, in California or in SF? If you mean the latter I agree with you. It seems reasonable that decriminalizing opiates in one city only would make us a magnet for drug abusers.

      Almost everywhere in California, open alcohol sales, marijuana sales, tobacco and caffeine sales and consumption is widespread and ignored by the police.

      For alcohol, tobacco and caffeine, they are legal. Any black markets in those are shut down

      Whey are they legal and mushrooms are illegal? Seems pretty arbitrary to me. Tobacco kills more than all other combined. Alcohol is a strong second. Fentanyl is a small fraction, almost a rounding error.

      They are regulated, controlled and taxed. This is very different from allowing dangerous substances to be sold and used on the street, things even countries which decriminalize drugs don't allow

      Legalize them all. Stop treating citizens like children, it doesn’t work. But I know that’s utopian.
