All research and successful drug policy shows that treatment should be increased And law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences
Trying to combat drug addiction through policing has been proven ineffective time and time again. You may want to rethink that one.
Came to say this! Drug addicts need help, not jail. Sure, if they commit a crime police should be involved, but it’s not going to cure their addiction!
Idk. I'm a public bus driver, am in pretty consistent contact with drug users. Not to mention living in amongst them in the poorer areas of tow. I'm not saying we should arrest them and give them lengthy sentences, but just leaving them on the street ain't working out.
I think a mandatory "time out" in a facility is in order. At least long enough to work the drugs out of their system. Maybe then they can try for a better way with a little clearer head.
But some days it feels like I'm living in a post apocalypse mad Max type place. It's bullshit that they're allowed to just trash anyplace they are. There's what's best for them, and there's what's best for the rest of us. There's gotta be something done.

Also the cops handing out traffic tickets, and the cops doing narcotics investigations are different people.
This isn't new either. A song was written about it 25 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4L20t8Dvlg

Both are stupid.
Thats what makes this an A tier shitpost.
I'm willing to concede I have it wrong but I wouldn't take it seriously. Just Karmanopoly goofing around with quality bait.
Indeed, very good stuff. Make my blood boil.
You get people off drugs by building a society where people aren't being oppressed and used as slaves. Not by putting them in jail and making their life worse.
Kids on the other hand aren't fully mature and don't realize that 'just' 30mph on a scooter can lead to a deadly crash pretty easily
Teach the kids to use a scooter properly, all across asia children ride electrics without incident, but I am constantly hearing how dangerous they are back in America where barely anyone rides scooters.

Drug problem is a healthcare issue, not a crime issue.
Well if they would fix traffic infrastructure to support bicycles and other alternative transports they would have less of a problem with this.
I hate the police like everybody elese, but why huntig addicts? They do nothing except to themself... But a 12yo on a scooter is mostly dangerous.

Dont fight drug use, fight drug distribution and the root problems why people are on the street taking drugs

Remember that time we legalized cannabis and it had literally zero impact on society? Let's do that with the rest of them too.
Why would drug addicts give up their dealers? For one, they still need someone to distribute them drugs. Secondly snitching out dealers is pretty dangerous. Thirdly, why? What incentive does an addict have? Not to go to prison? That is often a better choice than staying on the streets. In prison at least you have a place to sleep, it's warm and you get food three times a day. I don't know the prison conditions in Canada. But where I live, I'd a hundred percent rather go to prison than stay on the street.
