Pretty much, you need to invest in all the pillars to deal with the drug addiction epidemic. Just decriminalizing doesn’t solve the problem for society as a whole, the non-drug using public also needs to see a marked decrease in drug users on the street and reduced crime for a program to be a true success.

I said from say one that this was doomed to fail because they weren’t primarily investing in mental health and addiction treatment that was sorely needed. Of course that is the expensive and hardest part. Decriminalizing drugs is the “quick and easy” part.

The article says that they say it only affected customers that check out as a “guest”. Presumably most customers use an account when making a purchase.

That said I saw the people reporting it initially saying you didn’t even need to submit the form to be affected so I don’t know how they can tell how many customers were affected.
