Honestly I think it's great. If you're doing heroin or meth, you definitely don't have $100 lying around for a fine, and not paying it would just land you in jail anyway. This gives people who don't have or want to pay the fine a way to stay legal without doing so, and also gives someone a chance to talk to them and potentially help.

This seems really well thought out, however with sale still being as illegal as it was, I'm not sure crime/danger on that side of the transaction will decrease at all.

Crime and danger from the drug trade will always be lurking around. Even with legal cannabis there is a black market around, diminished but not gone.

This law seems to be more for harm reduction, for people to seek help without fear of prosecution, to enable others to call for an ambulance in case of something bad happens without fear of being arrested because they were shooting heroin.
