Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams' office said Tuesday it is refusing to prosecute charges of possessing small amounts of all drugs except heroin and fentanyl.
Williams spoke often about refusing marijuana possession charges during his successful campaign for office last fall. But current policy from the district attorney’s office goes further to include amounts intended for personal use of drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamines and black market painkillers.

Not surprising coming from a criminal DA himself.

The exception to the policy, of heroin and fentanyl possession cases, involves a category tied to last year’s staggering increase in overdose deaths in New Orleans. Accidental drug-related deaths grew 51% in 2020 from the year before, according to the coroner’s office. Of last year’s 365 accidental drug deaths, 284 involved fentanyl.

Those are the ones responsible for a VAST majority of overdose deaths. That is why.

This is fine.
We have mountains of evidence that status quo/increased prosecution of these crimes has virtually no effect of the prevalence of illegal narcotics in society.
We’ve been prosecuting these crimes for decades and it hasn’t worked. Resources should be allocated elsewhere.

I am very much in favor of this...but it only historically works in places that have a corresponding increase in Rehab, etc facilities and programs.
Personally I would rather shift the entire war on drugs from incarceration and prohibition to tolerance and rehab.

I'm sure we lost some real future achievers who OD'd on fent and heroin
ETA: that 51% increase is also tied to China Virus lockdowns so how about you open up the freakin city while you're at it
