The Gist

The Brief Highs and Crushing Lows of Drug Decriminalization


Listen Later

Oregon, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver have all experimented with drug decriminalization over the past few years. The results? A deadly disappointment. Stanford professor Keith Humphreys explains why. Plus, advice on how hard a bargain Greenland should drive as a target of U.S. acquisition. And why we should embrace New York City’s anti-NIMBY declaration, “It Can Happen,” as the city strives to become a CITY OF YES.



Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
