Drugs are winning the war on drugs. [...] But there was one absolutely certain loser last night: the war on drugs. If Americans across the country provided a clear mandate for anything this year, it's ending the hold that drug prohibition has on our country.
Of nine drug decriminalization or legalization measures on state ballots last nightincluding two addressing hallucinogens and one covering all illegal drugsnot a single one failed. These were decisive victories, too, not close calls. And unlike some previous waves of pro-marijuana votes, which were concentrated in predictable areas, successful antidrug war measures in 2020 spanned a diverse array of states.
Ballot measures making marijuana legal for recreational purposes passed in three: Arizona, Montana, and New Jersey. South Dakota approved both recreational and medicinal marijuana. In addition, Mississippi voters approved a medical marijuana measure.
Measures to OK consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms got a green light from voters in the District of Columbia and in Oregon.
And Oregonians also approved Measure 110, partially decriminalizing all illegal drugs.
These drug measures didn't just eke out wins.

Glad I wasted yrs risking my life in the Drug War... And for what...
Mexico tried this and it’s been a huge failure. But here’s the hidden issues: drug users can claim ‘mental illness’. Mentally ill people can apply for all sorts of benefits. These states don’t know what they just set themselves, and their taxpayers, and their public hospitals, up for. And, drugging up the native folk means more immigrants are needed to do the jobs the (majority white) zombies aren’t capable of doing. Talk about destroying society in one generation.
Elites:”We are going to undermine your country and subvert your culture, BUT you can have drugs and unlimited pr0n.”
