LOL, recriminalize it all you want, but will your liberal DA’s actually prosecute? No, no they won’t.

It looks as if the WhOregonians are finally realizing that drugs fuel the degradation of society.

Back in say the 80’s or so, if someone so much as had residue fro say coke, they faced really hard sentences- and folks shied away from harder drugs like that mostly (the smart ones anyways)

Lately, watching cop shows, you see a woman or man empty put their po keys, drop packets of meth, Crack etc, and the cop will be like “oh its no big deal... work with us here, and we will go light on you. We don’t want to see upu ruin your life over such a small. Amount of drugs”

A wors, they will get a few months in prison, but many will get sent to counseling instead, and maybe get probation and “time served” or whatever

Things seem to have really changed these days. I guess because prisons and jails are over-run, and certain crimes they go softer on so,as not to clogg up the courts more. But it has led to a massive increase and more dealing because the fines and threat of lengthy prison sentences just isn’t there anymore.

But let a Jan 6 patriot raise their voice on Capitol grounds, and by golly they get slammed with 10-20 years in prison in some cases, and have to remain in prison for years awaiting their trials- drug addicts are out He very day they are arrested, and face nothing more really in some cases than a xlap,on the wrist

As an Oregonian, I can tell you that this is the most toothless "recriminalization" in the entire history of the world.

Public drug use is a 6th degree misdemeanor, somewhere about like spitting on the sidewalk. Drug use in private is still not a crime.

If we want to do something to advance public health, we need to look at the example of Singapore. When Singapore achieved independence in 1965 about 1/3 of their residents were drug addicts. They enacted strict laws. If you fly into their airport today, signs warn visitors that possession of less than 15 grams of drugs means serious prison time, 15 grams or more results in hanging.

A few years ago I read that now 1/3 of their residents are millionaires.

This is how you get control of a serious drug problem.
