Then you knowingly left out the most important part of the whole program. Portugal doesn't let people remain addicted, the way all the progressive programs are doing like in SF, Portland, etc. Simply legalizing drugs is evil, it's benefiting the drug dealers and so-called harm-reduction advocates that benefit financially from letting addicts continue to live in slavery. We need forced rehabilitation as part of the equation, otherwise it doesn't work at all. I don't believe addicts should be criminalized, but locking them up in jail is the second best solution, to what we have right now, which is the worst of any scenario. It's a complete failure and downright evil what is going on right now in SF.
- arcticbull 4y agoHardly, I linked to an article which covers all of that. I also didn't say legalize, I said decriminalize. These are two different concepts. Legalize weed and psychedelics, sure. Decriminalize hard drugs. And improve public health programs, like I said, including mandatory rehab (which I left out - not for any particular reason - but support for addicts). > It's a complete failure and downright evil what is going on right now in SF. I agree completely. I don't think we disagree on much, tbh.
