If you arrest the users they'll give up the dealers

That's policing 101

    Arresting drug addicts in the war on drugs is part of how the US ended up with 25% of the world's prison population. End result? Same amount of drugs.

    Criminalizing drug use does literally nothing except lead to the death of democracy.

    No I watched breaking bad

    They went after the one drug user (badger) and eventually it led all the way up to the Heisenberg guy

    I'm just amazed how many people are on the side of the drug addicts

  • It's almost like drug addicts are still people who deserve to be treated like people. Throwing them in jail and subjecting them to police brutality does not help anyone except the fake numbers game of the police. If you really want to help people with addictions you have to be willing to work with them and treat the problems at the source rather than resort to punitive measures for no reasons.
