Okay. I understand what you're saying but it sounds like a danged serious quagmire. Thank you but I hope you can see how perplexing this is.
Up here in Humboldt county the decriminalization is so bad old Newsom pulled agents off the border to bust illegal grows. It's way worse than ever. I honestly could not imagine what would happen with old Buttboy's idea.

No jail, but each criminal arrested must do a time out at butt-giggitys home before theyre pardoned.

There are two reasons for possessing drugs. (Three if you include legitimate research). Either you intend to use them, or give them to a loved one, or you intend to sell them for a profit.
How are these two reasons ascertained?

No he is not. A libertarian would simply repeal the laws that criminalize drug usage and remove government control from drugs. What Buttigieg is recommending is much different.

You sir are an idiot that I am sure has never had to deal with some idiot on meth!

It’s the amount of drugs, the number of different types of drugs (each is it’s own charge) plus whatever applicable enhancements. For the guy I had in mind, they raided his house, tons of kids around, nearby a park, drugs were in large amounts. That gets him for selling drugs in a drug free zone, enhancing third degree and second degree up a notch, respectively. Also habitual felony offender, as he had a bunch of felonies for violent acts, evading arrest, etc., but was constantly out on the street anyway.
This is Harris County though, which has Houston. Mayor Turner land.
To: rktman
Great idea! Just sell 'em in the supermarkets over the counter. (If the customers get high and step in the human excrement in the aisles, so what?) Get the kids hooked. Let's all get hooked. Then we don't have to worry about
anything!
What? Howzat? Some other nation will conquer us and enslave us and our children? So what???
Anyway slavery was abolished back in the ...uh...a long time ago... It's illegal. They can't do that.

There are no drug users without drug cartels and drug dealers and drug smugglers and drug enforcers

“What was the parent incarnated as?”
Rabid drug users.
This guy is nuts. Lack of enforcement for drug
possession will only encourage greater use.
70,000 per year die in the US on average from
drug overdose. Expect that number to increase
under this idiots’ policies.

If he instead stated that an end-user caught in minor possession was “incarcerated” for several years in a treatment and recovery facility with no release until proven healed and recovered, instead of straight up prison, that would make sense.
To: Lean-Right
Lack of enforcement for drug possession will only encourage greater use.Nonsense. Is the illegality of heroin or meth YOUR primary reason for not using them? It's way down on my list.

Out and out legalization isn't going to work. It will make things even worse. Why? Leaglization of the mind-altering addictive drug alcohol has proved to work much better than banning it.
I do have some thoughts on what I believe is a better approach, but since they would never be put into practice, it's pointless to talk about them.
I'd like to hear them. :)

how has that war on drugs been working out for this country? How many billions of dollars and lives wasted?No one in our family died. We stayed away from drugs for the most part, and somehow did just fine in life.
OK, so you care only about how you and your family have been affected. How much of your money and your family's was taken by the government and spent on protecting the cartels' monopoly in the drug market?

Isn’t that a person’s base thinking in strenuous times? My family first, everything else a distant second? Isn’t that how we got the first Thanksgiving? Each family farmed for itself and saved themselves from starvation?

To: wastedyears
Family first, fine - but it's shortsighted at best to ignore, say, others being robbed by addicts looking to pay the drug-war-inflated price for their drugs just because it hasn't happened to you or your family. (Yet.)
