Oregon could become 1st US state to decriminalize hard drugs

What is it with your obsession with sodomy?

Its a telling sign of our morality depravity

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Actually logic would dictate that the easier something is to get, the more commonplace it would be. You legalize crack, meth, etc. then logically there will be more meth and crack addicts on the street. Crack addicts and meth addicts are unemployable. Meth addicts and crack addicts would then have no income to support their habit, so they would be forced to steal and rob to support their habits. It's entirely logical.

Do you even know anyone who has been addicted to crack or meth? I do, and it has ruined not only their lives, but severely affected everyone's lives around them.

Yeah, except there's a sample size of data that directly contradicts your fear-based assumptions.

Nice emotional appeal. Next!

A long time ago he talked about being "taken advantage of" while in the navy. I'm guessing that really influenced his beliefs today. Really pounded them home if you will

Great. Let’s put more people in jail for drugs where forced “sodomy” does not exist. Win win.

 

[midnight orange]

The only amendment that I can find that allows for the promulgation of the war on drugs is the “eff you” amendment written on the back of the constitution because the 9th and 10th sure don’t allow it.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yes, you are beyond stupid and demonstrate it daily.

I never said anything about doing away with pharmacies and pharmacists but you shouldn’t need a prescription to buy medication from them. Recreational drugs should be sold like booze at the liquor store.

And yes, the overprescribing of antibiotics is 100x more dangerous than recreational drugs.

Good God....

Good God....

We know you worship at the alter of authority and big government so this is a conversation you probably should avoid.

Or we could make it legal and habe addictions where they'll do anything to pay for their habbits. Is prison sodemy worse than a drug addict attacking innocent people to get drug money. I know its a lose lose situation but you can't tell me legalizing hard drugs is good, no matter how small an amount

Here's the measure summary:

Oregon Measure 110, the Drug Decriminalization and Addiction Treatment Initiative, is on the ballot in Oregon as an initiated state statute on November 3, 2020.[1]
A "yes" vote supports making personal non-commercial possession of a controlled substance no more than a Class E violation (max fine of $100 fine) and establishing a drug addiction treatment and recovery program funded in part by the state's marijuana tax revenue and state prison savings.

We don’t have addictions now? Drug addicts don’t attack innocent people under the wod?The critiques you offer of legalized drugs are actually an indictment of the wod.

I doubt we would see much of an uptick if any in the amount of drug addicts should they be legalized. Few people refrain from using drugs because they are illegal.

Your state is full of morons

Morons continue to support the war on drugs.

Good. Need more natural selection of our species anyway.

Agenda 21 anyone?

 

[Rickyvol77]

The "war on drugs" is a slogan, nothing more

Ok, anyone that still supports our current drug laws is a moron. How's that?

They are a failure and there is no other way to look at it.

Maybe his wide stance in the head led to an unexpected yet steamy encounter one day.

The opioid crisis and the crime associated with it is not directly caused by the laws that enforce drug possession.

Since the 1990s, the number of people put in prison simply for possession of a little amount or marijuana or harder drugs has been going down for decades.

The issue is that they are already on probation for OTHER multiple crimes (thefts, assaults, robberies, etc) or are actually selling drugs (which would not go away as a charge under legalization). Legalization will not decrease anything concerning arrests and will only lead to further type crimes being committed and more addicts

It’s odd how they tend to overlap with almost every other crime. Removing a label doesn’t fix anything.

How much taxpayer funds have been thrown at that slogan with little to nothing to show for it?

 

[golfballs]

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.

Would be fine except they’ll force taxpayers to support the deadbeats

Same can be said for alcoholics. Yet booze is readily available.

It's always a pleasure to engage in intellectual exchanges with people who speak in such broad generalizations......... LOL

 

[Rickyvol77]

At a federal level? as with everything else too much money.

Locally, not much different than any other crime you are dealing with

And we still issue DUIs, public intoxication, etc.
