In Portland these policies clearly aren't working and I want dealing fentanyl and meth be punished. There are more nuanced problems going on that might play a large role in this policy taking. Lack of rehab facilities definitely is one of these factors. The Portland police also has largely stopped policing anything. I wonder how different things would look if even just all cars without license plates got stopped. It also doesn't help that even repeat offenders get released without bail. I genuinely wonder how different things would look if hard drugs were decriminalized, but all other laws were enforced properly.
