That doesn’t excuse it, or say in any way not to deal with it, or to excuse other criminal behaviour occurring (theft, violence, etc) but sending these folks to prison for having some crack or meth on them is also not the solution.

It's a better solution than leaving them on the streets to slowly commit suicide with these drugs, meanwhile, people who have their #### together have to step over needles and passed out junkies, and avoid eye contact on public transit with hopped up addicts who are assaulting people near daily.
I swear its ####ing amazing how bad things are getting for regular working class people. Inflation, climate change, and, "shut up and let the zombie meth addict call you wife a bitch" shaming of lack of concern for the "unhoused".
