Seems like they fell into the bureaucratic red tape when trying to distribute funds for treatment facilities and the like.
That’s unfortunate. Utilizing their THC sales to create more facilities for treatment of a range of substances should be a given even re-criminalizing harder stuff.
Also unfortunate that we lose an opportunity to utilize Psilocybin for wider spread research if recriminalized. They were making good headway there.

Unfortunate because the war on drugs is a complete failure and decriminalization coupled with easy access to treatment does seem to be the answer, they just failed at implementation.
Addicts need a way out (treatment) but then don't just dump them on the streets after 28 days. Reintegration into society and giving them a reason to wake up in the morning is key as well.
They also seem to overlook the criminality which comes with addiction and that was a huge mistake. If someone commits a crime definitely hold them accountable.
