I’d welcome Portugal’s approach, but it is very different. San Francisco doesn’t prosecute dealers, and encourages open drug markets and camps on the street by funding and encouraging the behavior with permanent enabling, no path towards rehabilitation, and lack of law enforcement on the dealers and the non-drug crimes the commit. Compassion and understanding of drug use issues is a different world than enabling spiraling dens of despair.
