By isolating them?
Okay, how do you do that?
Put them in already overcrowded prisons where there aren't free cells, because the prisons are full of people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses?
Put them in treatment centers...that don't have the beds? Or the staff?
Or do you intend to cut the supply, using some technique which has been undiscovered by US law enforcement, fifty years into the "war on drugs"? Or, any other developed nation for that matter?
"just" take away their meth, and you have the nerve to accuse me of pointless exaggeration

You don't want to put them in prison because they are already there? Hu?
> Put them in treatment centers...that don't have the beds? Or the staff?
This isn't even true.

And yet somehow every city that isn't Portland manages to do it sufficiently well.
Democrats have complete control of the entire west coast of the United States, they run basically unopposed. I actually don't understand what is standing in the way of them allocating money for this stuff. California is currently formulating a plan to spend an incredible amount of money on reparations, so presumably they have the power to spend the kind of money in the way you are suggesting.
West coast states are also incredibly rich, they collect a huge sum in taxes each year. All of the ingredients seem, to me, to be present to implement the idea you are talking about.
Surely it isn't just one.
