Fact: approximately 20% of my general felony team's caseload are drug sales. We do prosecute these cases, everyday, for better or worse. As we've learned from the war on drugs after all these decades of failure: this is not a problem we can police or prosecute our way out of.

That 20% drug sales caseload is too low. Can you increase it to 60%? I see the lack of a war on drugs causing the current condition.

The "war on drugs" is a total failure. We've been at this since Richard Nixon was in office. Also, we've learned to synthesize opiates. It's powerful and dangerous. I carry Narcan all the time. Do you know Big Pharma planned all this misery? $$$

So not a war on drugs then, just provide a big arrest of major dealers, tied to the DEA, FBI, CIA or whoever can make it happen now and then.

Who is tied to the FBI, CIA, DEA? --- You know, if you actually think about it, all this synthetic opiate stuff came out of legal drug dealers. They knew this fentanyl stuff was very dangerous and covered it up. There are lots of reports on this. Lawsuits from the states too.

70+%of illegal users comment they first started on prescription drug analogs. Our illegal drug usage epidemic is inexorably linked to the pain treatment practices in our legal medicinal market.

The illegal use epidemic has many causes, not just big pharma. With many causes, many offensives are needed. My two cents.

Can you explain why you think criminalization is a effective front in this war? Because I think its a counterproductive one. No disagreement that decreasing usage, and promoting lawlessness are a good, are those acceptable things to value in this conversation to you?

Apologies, I meant reducing usage and promoting lawfullness are a good. I for instance specifically think that supplying capital to the lawless is most central to the difficulty we have in this city.

Who supplies the capital? Many sources: needle giveaways, dealers and makers of illegal substances, residents passing measures decriminalizing theft and drugs, no enforcement existing laws, ‘stay away’ orders
, non profits...

I think that there is so much capital because prohibition has driven the price and thus profitability of the sale up.
