American Medical Association Officially Endorses Drug Decriminalization
Two issues with the article. The first is that, despite the lurid headline, the policy statement is more about shifting to intervention, preventing the initiation of drug use, and dealing with individual use. The second is that the AMA policy adoption process is insanely broad. There have been over 4,000 policies or resolutions from the AMA in the last five years (one of them is against cannabis legalization, for instance). The way to read this is that there’s pushback against the criminalization of individuals and recognition that not much is working.
The problem, of course, is that psychiatric health, drug abuse, profits from dealing in illegal drugs, and the legal framework for when and how to care for someone that is incompetent are complicated and interrelated. It's cheaper to leave them on the streets or in the ER, at least until your tax base starts moving out.
