Oregon's drug decriminalization effort a 'tragedy'

Women aren't going to put up with government telling them what to do with their bodies. This is 2022, not 1972.

A fetus isn't a person. As I said, women won't put up with government running their lives. It doesn't matter what you or I think.

Wrong. Wearing a mask cuts transmission, while vaccination does little to prevent transmission of Omicron BA.5, but it does reduce serious illness.

Of course, the other person can wear a highly effective "mask" for under $40...


3M P100 respirator

Then it won't matter if you have covid or not.

You happen to be wrong.

Stop jailing people in a crazy "war on drugs."

 

They're moving in the right direction, just not far enough.

 

I know some, too, but many more who are just fine.

 

They did that in California. It has been a disaster.

 

Ya. Well. It's another example as to why progressive policies ****ing fail. They are based on the ideology of "gee wouldn't it be nice if" and not on reality.

Let Oregon burn.

The drugs get smuggled up from Mexico mostly as well, don't they?

"The heroin supply in America is mainly derived from South America and Mexico. A large portion of the world’s heroin is cultivated in Afghanistan — around 90 percent of it — but only about 4 percent of heroin in the US comes from Afghanistan, per 2013 data reported by The Week. Approximately 4.2 million people over the age of 11 have used heroin in their lifetime, NIDA reports.

Most of America’s cocaine comes from Bolivia, Columbia, and Peru. Among 15-64 year olds in America, Business Insider reports 2.2 percent use cocaine each year."

Who needs border security? LOL Border security is racist!

 

No, half measures have been touted as answers. The same is true in Oregon and British Columbia, Canada. They key, as far as I can tell, is completely breaking the connection between dope dealers and users.

 

Making heroin illegal promotes drugs like fentanyl. Your "war on drugs" is a fifty year flop.

 

The streets were cleaner because I don't care if they put a junky in a mental hospital or jail. Just get them off the ****ing streets where they can do themselves and others harm and are a blight to society.

Your allowance of this behaviour is more of a flop and it's only been a few years of this tripe.

When children have to witness and experience junky behavior on their way to the store or the mall, I have no care nor understanding to the situation of the junky.

I care about the child.

Your society is a failure based off of good intentions and a lack of understanding as to why things are the way they are.

 

You are wasting your breath. These pro drug people are insane and living in an alternate reality. There is a reason all major cities run by leftists are falling apart, leftist policies don't work in reality. Yet they continue to double down on stupid.

 

What are the major cities run by rightists that are doing better? How/why?

 

The ones that people are flocking to for damn good reason. Most Americans are now waking up to the failure of leftist policies and no amount of propaganda can get them to ignore what they are seeing with their own eyes. Now the hardcore leftists are freaking out and everyone else sees right through them.

 

Too bad.

Read. Learn. Do better.

 

Those are fake facts!! Lol.

 

This sums up the article.

"The Democrats have a supermajority. What went wrong?"

The author answered his own question...

 

The anti-democrat rhetoric on this forum is nauseating.

 

Break the connection between illegal sources and users and we can prevent a lot of people from getting started using. Provide drugs free to addicts who register and stay out of trouble.

 

You want people to be unemployed? Why?

 

I do not want people to use drugs.

 

Well. I just told you it gets smuggled up through mexico on a border the current administration has failed to protect because walls are racist.

I also explained that we can see an increase in users on the streets when you don't place punishment on the act.

And if you want I can show you how the lock down helped create more users as they battled through the anxiety and despair of a global lock down which has everything still ****ed up. But you were ok hugging your mask in a futile effort of trying to prevent a virus from doing what a virus will do.

Common sense isn't what you want though. Causation in voting in progressive leadership because you were emotional over mean tweets and cheering on lock downs has only made things worse

 

My "society" has never existed.

 

Then you agree that California especially is handling their homeless problem piss poorly based on their progressive values and wishful ideology

 

Walls won't stop the drugs or illegals, half of whom overstayed a visa.

You've tried locking people up for nearly a century.

What on earth are you talking about?

I supported Biden because you nominated a jackass.

 

I would provide workfare instead of welfare and require able-bodied folks to show up for work to get a permit to sleep in designated shelters or parks. No permit? No stay.

 

No alcohol? No tobacco? How did Prohibition work out?
