      Most of the problems with drugs are due to prohibition. Look how easy marijuana legalization has gone. Yes, it should be sold away from schools and playgrounds. But the nuisance value would go way down too.

      I don't think that's most of the problems. we don't even incarcerate many people on nonviolent drug offenses. The big problem is that those drugs kill a lot of people when allowed to be dealt and used widely, as we see with fentanyl.

      20% of the people in jail are there on drug crimes, mostly possession with intent to sell. This is larger than the entire prison population of all but two counties.

      Then add in all the extra interactions which lead to jail time or worse because racist cops have an excuse to harass people.

      How many die of drug overdose in The Netherlands where heroin is given for free to addicts?

      Replying to @the_watcher @3Sentinel4 and

      People die of drug overdoses because street drugs are of unknown purity. If you actually cared about the addicts dying you would support legalization. Far fewer would die, probably 100x fewer.

      Out of the 20%, only a small portion are nonviolent Netherlands doesn't allow open illegal drug trade and open use with people dying in the streets.

      No 20# of incarcerated individuals are in jail or prison for drug crimes only. 80% are in prison for violent or property crimes. You are misinformed.

      Replying to @the_watcher @3Sentinel4 and

      Drug offenses still account for the incarceration of almost half a million people, and nonviolent drug convictions remain a defining feature of the federal prison system. Police still make over 1 million drug possession arrests each year,many of which lead to prison sentences.

      Drug arrests continue to give residents of over-policed communities criminal records, hurting their employment prospects and increasing the likelihood of longer sentences for any future offenses.
