How about criminalizing dealing, Ted? Dealing was never officially decriminalized with measure 110 but it sure isn’t being effectively prosecuted. I don’t mean weed or psychedelics but if you’re dealing new meth, heroin, or fentanyl, you’re basically sentencing your users to death. Seriously, treat that shit like murder 1 if it’s a drug that statistically kills most of it’s users.
That’s the confusing bit. Even if one considers this a good approach, criminalization hasn’t really been our problem. Lack of enforcement has been our problem. This seems to just expand the list of crimes we’re not enforcing, not referring to the DA’s office, and not following up on.
