  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!

        I mean if you want to get specific what I really want is to remind police that doing drugs is illegal and they should focus on busting those people…instead of kids having fun on scooters

      Being this stupid should be illegal.

      So was giving shelter to undesirables in Nazi Germany. Laws are not inherently moral.

        The temporary decriminalization of doing drugs in British Columbia expired in January 2026

        So doing illicit drugs like crack or fentanyl on the streets is currently illegal again.

  Also the cops handing out traffic tickets, and the cops doing narcotics investigations are different people.

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

  That’s policing 101

    You’re stupid

    I want you to know that, but I want you to feel it, where it really counts

    You’re a shitty person because of your stupidity

    You could just be stupid, but you’re that awful combination of stupid and shitty

    Arresting drug addicts in the war on drugs is part of how the US ended up with 25% of it’s population imprisoned. 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?

    • Karmanopoly@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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
