Oregon regrets decriminalizing street drugs

[Blaster]

What happened to legalize it and tax it?

Some states have already done this.

I smoked weed when I attended college because it was considered a cool thing to do.

Druggies get high to avoid the real world

really? All of them?

Is that how experimentation starts

Legalizing and taxing is not decriminalization -- its legalization, which I personally never supported.

Drugs are glamorized in lib culture

Naturally children would want to try it

Why do some people always seem to have an unhealthy focus on children?

I know too many people who have beat their addictions to everything from heroin, crack, benzos and alcohol etc to agree with you.

Well, since we can't expect you to prove that, it's very easy for you to say.

Projection.

Okay, Saul.

I always distrusted people like you.

And you actually believe that statement hurts someone's feelings.

I don’t know why people think they what works in tiny countries like Portugal will automatically work in a country the size of the United States.

A tsunami of Auto Accidents caused by druggies ( Just like Colorado )

Or even one state, the size of Oregon, more than half of which, geographically, is NOT filled with the kind of losers who use illicit drugs.

those children are highly overrated.

They're always in the way of guns at schools.

See? I'm being arightwinger

not sure why you jumped in.

Feelings?

You suck at being a Troll. You barely rate as a nuisance

You have no clue

Libs are the ones who do not value children’s lives

You protect mayors and judges with fences, metal detectors and cops with guns but not kids in school

Be careful what you wish for.

Majority of voters in progressive Oregon regret decriminalizing drugs: survey

More than 6 in 10 Oregonians said they think the legislation has made drug addiction, homelessness, and crime in the Beaver State worse.

See post #44

In your world 2 wrongs make a right

No in my world i realize that people can make mistakes and stupid platitudes like just say no don't work

 

[Blues Man]

Using drugs or alcohol to escape reality is a conscious decision by individuals.

Or it's the only way they know how to deal with their own pain because they come from shitty backgrounds or have been abused

 

[Blues Man]

Not if empathy and compassion helps excuse drug use. No. Never.

Why would you think it has to excuse anything?

But hey it's just better if people OD in the streets right that's good in your book
