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.
If you arrest the users they’ll give up the dealers
That’s policing 101
FTFY
Treat it like the public health issue it is, not something to involve the judicial/carceral systems

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.
Your percentage is off.
Recent sources put US prison population at ~2 million, with about that much under other supervision conditions.
US population is at ~342.75 million people.
Good call, got some wires crossed. The US contributes to 25% of the entire global prison population
And is ineffective. Didn’t you watch The Wire?
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
dumbest comments I’ve seen all day are all from you
I’ve had this user tagged as “anti-science troll” for ages.
Last time was from just a comment chain under a post but it was just as bad as this whole thing.
I was just thinking the same thing.
The farther down this thread I go the dumber they get
I’m just amazed how many people are on the side of the drug addicts

I’m amazed there is still people that think prohibition works.
addicts need help not prison
Do you not remember his name?

That widely known to not work that way.
No no no. This is just building a prison pipeline.
