Decriminalizing use basically decriminalizes selling as far as I can tell here in the northwest. Police and prosecutors can no longer threaten users with legal action to give up their dealers, and since buying is now low risk, dealing also becomes lower risk. I’ve seen people on the street looking for drugs and find them on my morning walks (they are pretty vocal when asking, and dealers aren’t shy about replying).

It would be easy to put out fake buyers to find the sellers. Sounds like lazy policing.

It is hard to find police that can convincingly do unhoused drug addict well enough.
