"Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner teased what could be his next big policy reform: decriminalizing drug use.

Speaking with Axios, Krasner said his office "is very close" to nixing charges for simple drug possession in favor of connecting drug users to treatment and other services.

"One of the things we're looking at is essentially diverting all possession of drugs cases," he said during the interview, which will air on HBO later this month."
