Oregon could become 1st US state to decriminalize hard drugs

[TNVOLNAVY]

And here once again we arrive on that slippery slope that the leftist prog filth always tell us doesn’t exist.


In what would be a first in the U.S., possession of small amounts of heroin, cocaine, LSD and other hard drugs could be decriminalized in Oregon under a ballot measure that voters are deciding on in Tuesday’s election

Good. Need more natural selection of our species anyway.

To each their own. There’s a direct correlation between ALL drugs and violent crimes or crime in general. To think this solves any problems other than “thinning the herd” of worthless drug addicts is asinine.

 

[allvol123]

I'm all for states operating as their locals desire. I believe states should be able to outlaw or legalize gay marriage and other such things.

If Oregon passes this, then TN drug users should move there in droves. Win win.

 

[UT_VOLS13]

I am fine with it.

 

[volinbham]

The laboratories of democracy. Will provide interesting data. Have at it Oregon.

Yep. Narcan should be the only banned substance there.

Will we have to wear our mask while we shoot up?

 

[Ten_Titans]

Yeah. This one doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm 100% for marijuana decriminalization. Because then, the government can tax it and American companies can produce it.

And most importantly, if those things happen, there will be zero market for criminal organizations to make money from it.

So what is the plan for hard drugs? Same thing? Are we going to sell heroin in Walgreens now? Are we gonna have Johnson and Johnson make it and market it? If not, what is the plan? If you decriminalize use, but you don't decriminalize production or distribution, what are you doing except incentivizing the use of heroin?

Just think of those bozos transporting it across state lines and getting busted. Or getting on a plane. Or leaving the country.

Doh!?

All drugs should be legal and the only things that should require a prescription is antibiotics.

Put the real coke back in Coca Cola.

What could go wrong?

Good. Drug users don't need to go to jail. They need to go to rehab.

 

[C-south]

Good. Drug users don't need to go to jail. They need to go to rehab.

I was thinking of a better place.

[Pepe_Silvia]

Good.

The government has no business telling people what they can and can't put in their own body.

 

[jvol1]

I'm in favor, but just because it'll eliminate or reduce organized crime which makes so much money from this and is responsible for a good amount of crime associated with drugs.

You think people who become addicted to drugs, most of the time because their doctor prescribed them something and they got hooked, deserve to just die? Thats ****ed up.

Yea I’m sure that’s how it is for the vast majority.

It’s usually not bc of the doctor...... it’s bc the individual chooses to overtake his/her pain medication..... My best friend got hooked on pain pills after a neck surgery.....he stole from me.... his work..... his family.... he lied about being robbed when he actually spent his kids Christmas money on drugs.... in and out of rehab but still doing the same stuff.... I had the same prescription as him but took just enough to deaden the pain bc everyone knows the risks.

You think people just wake up one day and think to themselves, "hey, I think ill try some heroine today." It doesn't work that way. They get addicted to pills first, then can't get the pills so they turn to the dude on the corner.

I’m cool with whatever someone does in the privacy of their own home.... I don’t want it to be allowed out in public.... dealing or using.

Biggest organized crime organization in the world is our government.

People that do drugs don’t follow any set pattern.... they most definitely can start with other drugs than pills.

It IS because of the doctor. I had back surgery and had extremely mild pain, didn't even need anything stronger than ibuprofen (I was 23) and was prescribed 120 Lortab. I took about 10 of them and threw the rest out. Doctors prescribe WAY too many opiods at one time. Imo they should just give you 10-15 pills at a time.
