George Soros Drug Liberalization plan is destroying the State of Oregon.
we have sooo many weed backers on FR it seems....
what they didn't see and do not see, is all the ramifications of a drug addled populace....
Liberals are so much smarter and more virtuous than I.
Drugs are also legal in North Korea. Just sayin’.
Excerpt from article at link:
Possessing small amounts of drugs including heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine has effectively been decriminalized in Washington state since February, when the state supreme court threw out the existing felony drug law in its “Blake” decision.

Now comes Washington state Initiative 1922 which removes all penalties for all drug possession in personal use amounts, including fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin. Hopefully they won't get enough signatures to put Int. 1922 on the ballot but it is WA state so I don't hold much hope. Article on Int. 1922:
Placing addicts in prison with violent criminals and giving them a record does not help them return to a healthy life. Drug abuse should be treated like all other forms of self harm. A psychological issue that requires medical treatment.
Selling dangerous drugs like fentanyl to addicts should be considered up there with murder though. Immediate death penalty upon verified video evidence...
Portlanders are destroying Oregon from what I see there.
You'll get no argument from me that Portland has become a cesspool. I don't live in Oregon but I do follow the news as I have family there (not Portland).
I will say that a lot of the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the state legislators and the governor; another liberal infestation. Washington state is following Oregon's lead.
I agree with you, it generally should be treated as more of a health problem for the more innocuous drugs, but the dealers of these substances, especially the more dangerous ones like crack or fentanyl should still be prosecuted.
I've always wanted to go there and go to their craft beer festival, but I guess that's a no-no now.
