“There’s always the hope that states function as laboratories of democracy, and when one state does something that makes sense and seems to work, that other states will adopt it,” says Davis. “Arrests went way down, overdoses didn’t change: To me, that’s an improvement over the previously existing system.”
As someone from Asia, I’m going to offer the unpopular opinion: That last quote in the summary shows that you’ve lost control of the situation.
Isn’t it a better indication that there’s no control to be had? At least not with arrests anyways
It depends I suppose, lots of factors to consider. I do agree the situation in the USA is likely to have been uncontrollable for a long time.
I’d argue that exponential drug problems are a symptom of much larger social and economic problems. Look at alcoholism rates in impoverished areas.
