MYSTIFIED: Overdoses Up 700% After Oregon Decriminalizes Hard Street Drugs. Officials Mystified.
There’s a case to be made for decriminalization, but it involves getting serious about mandator rehab and treatment for mental illness — not just leaving sick people out on the street to “self-medicate” themselves to death.
But that’s what passes for progressive compassion.
I’m very much into decriminalizing drugs. But as usual, the left figures out how to fuck it up.
You already have case studies in Oregon and Washington.
But because you’re afraid Of getting busted with mushrooms, you stay on this stale, misinformed tact.
Sad.
Disagree. Oregon did it but fucked it up. Portugal is actually the correct case study here.
I have never taken an illegal drug in my life.
But I know what the black market is.
I remember the country's prohibition on alcohol phase.
The "war on drugs" has been a costly and catastrophic failure.
Harm Reduction doesn't work either.
We need to acknowledge the obvious: Some people can take drugs without fucking up their lives and burdening society. But too many can't, and they are, and will continue to be, drags on society who consume far too many resources because of their inabilities to handle or manage their addictions. You can appropriately call the war on drugs a failure. But you cannot point to any successes, either.
Read San Fransicko or shit, take a day trip to Vancouver BC to see the proof, first-hand.
