Best example I've ever read or seen first hand is in what they did in Portugal.

Every other example in North America is basically the same ... they did half measures, expected results in weeks or months and never bothered to see what would happen in years or even lifetimes. Everyone always wants quick answers ... but no one ever wants to admit that social problems like this will take decades and lifetimes of support, work and assistance to see positive results.

There is no quick fix ... if there was, we would have used it and been successful by now.

I'm also concerned with the reports, or that one documentary by that conservative dude who's got some incredibly distasteful opinions on other things so no one would even give the video a watch.

Some people getting a "safe supply" of up to 40 "dollies" per day, and then they'd just go and sell those to get the hard stuff. With the dollies even finding their way into public schools.

It's a good idea, but it shouldn't be a long term solution, it should be for weening people off and giving them safe places to use. It needs to be paired with giving a shit all across the board, getting these people into good housing, social services, jobs if possible.
