You're not going to solve this by using methods that you've tried before, it didn't solve the drug abuse then and its not going to solve it now. I know one thing that would solve it but the Bidens and the Trumps of your country wouldn't go for it.
San Francisco just need the correct people in place to implement some drastic measures, hey, you've got deserts in your country that needs fertilising, good, now get on with it. Stop wasting your taxes on these drug users and put those tax dollars where its definitely needed, in peoples pockets or even infrastructure projects or services.
Billions of wasted dollars year upon year is not sustainable as it will end up crippling your cities, there isn't one of you willing to stand up and say the bleeding obvious either, humanitarianism doesn't work when the beneficiary doesn't bleeding want it, so stop it right now. Its time you lot got tough on drug abuse and got deadly serious about what you're going to do about it, if you don't it will only get worse.
Just how many tax dollars are you going to spend on this problem, one billion a year?, 10 billion?, 100,000 billion?, a trillion dollars?, it never ends until you finally end it once and for all.
