Oregon not only HAS assisted suicide, it was the first to have it, in 1994. Now nine other states have it, including Washington State. Washington DC has it as well.

The movie Soylent Green came out in 1973. Amid all the focus on how terrible eating people was, almost everyone missed the importance of the scene where the guy goes into the assisted suicide place. It took 21 years for science fiction horror to become reality.

The point of that scene was that evil comes in increments. We didn’t listen, and maybe we never will.

“cartels’ new formula for making meth is driving people into the throes of psychosis and homelessness at a much higher rate”

Just like CHINA planned.

Three days, minimum.

I ran into a guy in the woods a few days ago. He was on meth, I’m pretty sure, but didn’t yet have “ the look.” There was a pretty big smoker by the road that someone had dragged there, somehow. It was a half mile from the nearest road. I said something about it. He climbed down, rolled it up into the road, and said “Where do you want it?” I think he’d have carried it the two miles to the house, if I’d asked.

Still, a lot of people blow their brains out.

Meth has changed. Made by the P2P process now; more potent.

The state should do something! They should start giving away free, pharmaceutical-grade Dexedrine so their druggies won’t have to take tainted meth. That’s the ticket!

Summer in Portland, especially the last couple of years, is hot and dry with clear skies the majority of the time.

Heroin addicts are peaceful while they are under the influence.

I worked right next to a guy in a cubicle at an old call center job back in the 90s. Right next to him, every day. Until the day he wasn't there and I learned later he went to rehab for heroin. I had no idea that they guy I worked productively next to every day and engaged in conversation was a junkie.

A friend from church got sent to the penitentiary for 18 years for selling cocaine. (He never wanted to go back so he went clean).

One time he snorted what he thought was coke. It wasn’t. It was meth. He stayed awake for 11 days. He said it was the most miserable experience ever.

He must have kept snorting more and more.

I don’t know it may have been really pure and he didn’t have a tolerance to it. Don’t know if cocaine and meth are cross-tolerant or not.

I think either will clear out of your system in three days.

Oregon has been demoted to a city?

``````````````````````````````````````

Why not? “America” was long ago demoted to a “country” or “Nation.”

When they overdose just let nature take its course. Saves money, time and space.

So it isn’t the addicts who are ruining the system, nor the dealers, nor the cartels. It’s the meth itself. Once again, no one is held responsible for his actions.
