Seems like they fell into the bureaucratic red tape when trying to distribute funds for treatment facilities and the like.
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.

As I was just saying. So you're saying that everyone should be allowed to do these things that we know are terrible for people, which are highly addictive and kill them, and create crime and chaos, but that will all be alleviated by offering "treatment"?
That makes no sense. There are no shortage of treatment options in places where these drugs have long been illegal and they're still a huge problem. People dying, crime, and all the other stuff that comes with it.
