Reply to comment by motorola_phone in West Baltimore gang takedown: 33 indicted on drug, gun and attempted murder charges, police say by Dr_Midnight

If you're referring to something like Portland, that is not the same as a national drug policy. Makes sense that doing it on that scale would turn the city into a "destination". Not a comparison to what is happening in Portugal at all.

so you're telling me you think it would be "easy" to nationally dismantle the law enforcement industrial complex and institute all the societal safety nets that are required of a program like this?

Nothing is easy. But prohibition simply does not work.

I'm inclined to agree with you on that one
