Last I checked, hawking Sinaloa meth in broad daylight is a crime. If you have to "get creative" with civil lawsuits to make it stop, somebody isn't doing their jobhttps://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1309177127984656387 …

One might point out the absurdity of Prohibition in general. Calling something "meth" instead of Adderal doesn't magically change its effect. The Drug War is simply a subsidy to the drug cartels. The US had no drug laws until 1914. The government is not our mother.
HALF of the city's dedicated psychiatric ER visits are now people experiencing psychotic episodes on meth. HALF. It's a huge contributing factor to the chaos on the streets and on public transit. What's your answer?

It’s time to try Hamsterdam.

Seriously, a regulated market that generates resources for dealing with the externalities of drug use, rather than a black market that wastes resources attempting to prosecute consensual behavior.

Do what Portugal did and decriminalize everything. Addiction falls (because it's safe to get treatment), crime falls because drugs aren't as expensive, tourism is up because the streets are safe. Same thing happened in US when we ended Prohibition.

To say that Portugal "decriminalized everything" is extremely misleading. For one thing, drug dealing is still a serious criminal offense. For another, there are a wide array of sanctions imposed for drug possession/use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_Portugal …pic.twitter.com/8z7SrNeyxQ

What's your "solution"? Have the government keep pretending to run the human bloodstream? Not looking for meth myself, I want anti-aging gene vectors. But the forces keeping me from getting them are the same.

BTW, I'm serious when I ask for your thoughts, you're smarter than I am. Pardon my lack of tact, I can barely fit a thought into a tweet ;)

Teach epistemology to them so they don't freak out at the illusions. Put a blinking eye on the Transamerica pyramid. Announce that "respectable middle-class atomization" is too 20th century for SF. Let people buy it legally if they can correctly spell "methamphetamine".
