I just lost a close friend to fentanyl. So sad that the drug wars have taken another victim.

That’s really sad. The person who sold him the fentanyl should have been held accountable

Does arresting drug dealers reduce the amount of overdoses?

Opioid treatment can be 40% successful. I don't think there's evidence that its significantly more than 0% successful when people live surrounded by drug dealers. Stop consenting to a massacre.

As
@HarvardHealth explains, "Involuntary commitment for people with substance use disorder deprives them of liberty, fails to offer evidence-based treatment, and may leave patients worse off by making them vulnerable to overdose risk."https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/involuntary-treatment-sud-misguided-response-2018012413180 …1 reply 1 retweet 2 likes -

Yeah - I agree, with caveats. You have to weigh the loss of being able to choose (which addiction implies) & the lost freedoms for those around them, with the loss of personal freedoms that follow treatment incentives.

Those sound like values, I value 1) Life 2) Liberty I see societies pursuit of safety in the war on drugs as sacrificing everyone liberty without offering any security benefits. I think it in fact exacerbates addiction, overdoses, lawlessness, and violence in our community.pic.twitter.com/YApkN4NwWx

It's not just about personal freedoms of addicts. Unlimited is logical impossibility when one person’s freedom in fringes of the freedoms of others. My 3 year old was not free to walk on the sidewalk without close supervision because of the freedoms afforded to addicts in SF.

#BreonnaTaylor wasn't an addict, but she was shot in another failed chapter of our abysmally failed#WarOnDrugs. The abysmally failed war on drugs meanwhile has driven drug availability, addiction, overdoses, lawlessness and violence in our community.pic.twitter.com/1Qfb9kUvuDThis media may contain sensitive material.

Overpolicing and murder-by-police murder is not an SF problem, if you care about evidence. You can't treat cancer, just because lots of other people have a cold.

So you have no solution to the current opioid epidemic other than tactics that have been proven to not work?

I agree that people who behave badly and make the streets unsafe for children should be dealt with. Decriminalizing drugs does not mean “anything goes.” Those societies that have decriminalized drugs have less public disorder than San Francisco.
