They keep “saving lives” by killing people.
Democrats are so clever.
;-)
It was a fun while it lasted
They get paid big bucks to do stupid things, and then try to fix them.
There is an old GK Chesterton story that basically boils down to: “Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place.”
These people decriminalized drugs without fully understanding that drugs were criminalized for a reason.
“Rampant public drug use”. No one saw that coming.
It’s too late, Oregon. The genie 🧞♂️ is already out of the bottle.
If you want more of an activity, just decriminalize it.
I’ve seen the argument so many times that drugs should be legal since making them illegal does not stop people from using them. But, as the Oregon experience shows, criminalization sure does cut down on the drug abuse.
We elect idiots.
“Never Mind”
Eventually they’ll be no one left to charge
Where’s the Simpsons “Ha-HA” guy?
THE DRUGGIE HIPPIES swarmed into Oregon in the 70’s.
NOW (?) they are upset???
Since the OR drug problem has been a REAL problem since the ‘90s, you would have thought it was obvious.
...and, once again, Americans are having to suffer through the LEARNING CURVE of Democrats.
Well, who saw this coming? LOL
Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder saw it in the dark with their eyes closed.
But now they have so many more addicts. Lots of luck !!!

That means that whatever services the community had while these drugs were still illegal were quickly overwhelmed and will no longer be adequate in the changed environment. There is no incentive for the government to solve any of the problems; in fact, more problems means higher taxes, more power, more activists, more government. It’s one of those little civil death spirals that’s going to be difficult to break in the face of people who benefit from it.
