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

    That’s policing 101

      That’s copaganda 101

      FTFY

      Treat it like the public health issue it is, not something to involve the judicial/carceral systems

      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 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.

        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

              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.
