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.

And while meth use will still be a bad thing with bad consequences, outcomes of the drug use itself should be less bad with improved set and setting of not fearing arrest or street violence.

I'm willing to discuss this with anyone who is first willing to familiarize themselves with the treatment options and outcomes *specifically for meth addiction,* which is notoriously difficult to manage relative to e.g. opioids.

Okay. Where should I start?
