Oregon decriminalized all drugs last night.

Hahahaha

You are so naive my friend

You think all those crustiesnin the street arengoing to treatment centers lol

Take a look at San Fran bud

That’s the future of Portland oregon

Oh I have no doubt about that.

Small businesses that already have had to spend weekend after weekend, rally after rally boarding up windows and keeping the homeless off the front door steps, will never be able to quell the tide of drug addicts now.

Game over for Portland

Eeeeexxxcellent...

I dont go to Portland. I never liked it there.

I'm not naive being I have worked directly which addicts in the past.

Last time I went to San fran..I never wanted to go back. Those are my opinion that bear no weight on this measure and getting addicts treatment instead of jail.

The police going to take them to the treatment centers now?

If you think a homeless person with no address is gonna check themselves into sobriety then I think you are naive. I’m sorry but that’s just asinine thinking

Awesome! Hopefully there’s a lot more fatal ODs

Dealers will buy too when it becomes cheap enough

Fast cars getting to the state line

that's a good thing you fools.

it means no more contaminated drugs with fentanyl and no more gangs selling drugs.

Apparently, yes..that's the plan.

Better than for profit jails that are a revolving door. Help these people instead of criminalize them.

I'm sure you could empathize with that. Hard drugs are not legal. There are consequences..of not just losing your drugs.

it actually lead to less.

OD's are mostly caused by contaminants such as fentanyl.

if people want to OD, it their choice.

does this force you to OD? NO.

Really? Who’s selling and cutting the drugs then?

Look I have always liked you, never had a disagreement with you before. But I am just not on board with this in Oregon of all places.

Fair enough. We have a problem here with homelessness/teens/drugs..we kinda always have. Getting arrested gets expensive real quick and can doom people to the crushing cycle of poverty, and with a rapsheet, be impossible to get out from under.

We all make dumb choices when we were teenagers..the long time addicts dont see jail as a deterent.

I hope it works. We'll know in 3 years or so if it was a good choice or bad choice..or maybe a mix of the two.

We can disagree and still be friends here.

Juneau alaska is amazing,

pretty fishing town

I really think we're lost...maybe it is time for a reset.

That state is so fucked it is unbelievable.

I spent six years sailing the entire coast, working on ships. Cordova to Dutch harbor was always my favorite tour. The Aleutian chain is incredibly beautiful by vessel.

Loved the king salmon/ naknek area also.

I don’t mind. Now they should make them free and let all the addicts kill themselves. It would end all property crimes and identity theft. They just need to designate an area for them away from everyone else.

What 'new' drug treatment centers'?? I'm here to tell you the one's in place, mandated by courts etc. are largely ineffective and cost a crap-load to keep running, especially in Covid times- people which are heavily addicted require more than some group meeting once or twice a week, they will need inpatient- and that cost a fucking fortune. Even the outpatient ones use piss-test drug screening, which will keep most from ever willingly attending these things.

pharmacies?

Trump already put them out of business.

They are also putting in public treatment centers. This is a very, very, very good thing. Most addicted people don't want to be, but there are NO avenues for the poor in getting medical detox help.

so youre saying that trump overrides the states governors?

The only good thing to happen in Oregon. The war on drugs is a war on humanity

“Trump did”

Lol, ok. Not wheeler, not brown, trump.

You are clearly not from here or you would feel like an idiot for posting that, especially after wheeler held a press conference telling trump that he doesn’t decide anything that happens in Oregon.

Look fuckstick. Speak up when you KNOW what you are talking about. I’m a thirty year medical professional. I have spent many many years taking care of mental patients

You don’t give someone that has hallucinations drugs that induce it or perpetuate it. These people do not perceive reality as someone else. You may THINK you are having a rational conversation with these people but what THEY perceive is a 12 foot 6 armed amoeba with 19 heads that are trying to eat them

You do not fuck around with this kind of mental disease. Imminently life threatening

you said the same thing with cannabis. look at all the dispensaries now.

I've been looking at Alaska property for months now.

Looks like AK will be the next boom-state.

But how many gun factories and ammo factories are in AK?

Do Kodiaks and brownies know about the ammo shortage???

Yeah I was against cannabis! Lmao

That’s why I have this smilie and constantly speak openly of my support of it.


Why you making stuff up?
