1. Licenses or prescriptions should be required for all drugs; either can be taken away. Also, people need education.

2. Start a better public works program. Employment is good for mental health.

3. Maybe require a month of service or something, just to have a way to resocialize people when they break.

4. Have people pick up their benefits somewhere not in the city. Some reason to move.

5. Forced rehab to those engaged in harm; nature and nutrition.

6. Need to avoid cultures of homelessness. Need good policy. Look to Amsterdam, a city with virtually no homelessness.

7. Make better drugs available? Fentanyl seems like the worst.

Wow, legalizing across the board and requiring licensing was the idea I had. Force some kind of education requirements, pay into funds to provide treatment, and revoke licenses for those that abuse the privilege. This is what we do for other high risk activities like driving, skydiving, scuba diving, etc., it just makes sense to do it for drugs. This list is fantastic, it should be shouted across the nation. You have my vote.
