Oregan legalizes illicit drugs

[LordBrownTrout]

What do illegal drugs do for a person? Do they need them to get that dopamine kick, to chase a high that is always hollow? What is it?

 

[Votto]

Personally I think there are good drugs and bad drugs

meth, crack - definitely bad should be criminal

Opiates and Cocaine - should be available by prescription

Weed, XTC, psychedelics - should be legal

Why criminalize any drugs?

If you study the mentally ill, for example, they almost all abuse a drug or two.

Some people are just so miserable they will seek to relieve that misery any way they can.

Oregon re-criminalizes small amounts of hard drugs after 2020 voter initiative is overturned

Under the new law, possession of small amounts of drugs such as heroin or methamphetamine will be as a misdemeanor and punishable by up to six months in jail.

It's like I've said before, Americans only care about 2 freedoms, the right to have sex with anyone or anything they want so long as they can abort their offspring and have no repercussions for their actions, and to take illicit drugs.

That is all.

RIP USA.

Libs also care that government must provide gor them when drug addiction makes it impossible for them to take care of themselves

 

[Mac-7]

Why criminalize any drugs?

Because drugs make people crazy

You are talking about two different interests when you say "Libs"

There is the government power of the Left, and many of the well meaning lemmings who follow them. The two don't match, however.

I don't see government power as well-meaning, but that is just me.

Is that a bad thing?

Should we let people be crazy if we want them to be?

Not when they are liable to stab 7 people and 4 die

Why does NO ONE EVER state the obvious:

Politicians thought it would be a great way to eliminate many of the homeless vagrants when they made it legal in public. It did not work as they thought it would. Not enough dead bodies fast enough. Public complaints exceeded the body bags.

With Heroin that is "what they say". First time is so great you keep doing it "chasing the dragon". It is never "AS GOOD". Then you become sick if you don't keep doing it. Less sick if you keep doing it.

Coke is nothing like that. No idea about the NEW FENTYNAL from China/Mexico.

Your article says recriminalize not decriminalize

Another bullshit right wing thread

So surprising

Why criminalize any drugs?

Because certain drugs like meth and crack do nothing but destroy communities in ways beyond just harming the user.

I use to be of the mind all drugs should be legal and regulated but after seeing tweakers roam the streets out here and nothing happen to them nah I'm against meth 100%

And you're replying to me why? I didn't post it

As I've said before, alcohol kills more people than any other drug, not even close, yet there is no calls for Prohibition once again.

And people are Ok with the state selling it directly to the public.

The state cares nothing about the welfare of the populace, in fact, it is just the opposite.

No man is an island to himself.

Any drug that destroys an individual helps unravel society. To think otherwise is absurd.

Nah man

If that were so caffeine and sugar would be banned as they are mind altering substances

There are many drugs that are beneficial and have benefits

Cannabis and XTC are my main 2 because I know first hand how they help people heal from PTSD

If they are legalised, they are no longer illicit.

Again, alcohol kills more people than any other drug

More people in the U.S. die of alcohol-related causes than from opioids and other drugs. Psychologists are working to change that

Cultural beliefs paint alcohol use disorder as black and white, a mindset that often means too few people get help for problematic drinking.

Think of the hardship this puts on society in terms of health care costs, broken families, child abuse, and economic decline.

You can't convince me that this does not negatively impact society like the other drugs you claim do.

You just think alcohol is Ok since it is legal and because it may have benefits and may not lead to abuse and because it may not be in your grill everyday as the other drugies are.

So, the negative impact on society is not your focus, rather, your view is that so long as it may have a benefit it should be allowed.

Correct?

Bravo Oregon, AFTER you Dem stupid shits wrecked the state with your hard drugs experiment now you fix your giant screw up. Dems, dumbest bunch of morons on the planet.

I mostly agree but they still had laws you can't be drunk or drinking in public. In ORE you could sit around outside a business or a grade school shooting up as far as I know? Let it flow then. Fentynal all around for all. Cheap and available. But where do they go?
