Portland and Seattle are beyond hope for many reasons. If it's statewide, then people won't flock as much to insert ultra liberal commie city here. We have double the amount of people in prison than we should. It's become a racket. Invest some of the 45 year failed War on Drug money and private for profit prison $ into rehab, job training, and infrastructure.thechatch said:Heroin and meth use have been tolerated by city officials in Portland and Seattle for the last 5 years or so and that has worked out great. Expect a big uptick in use from addicts wandering in from out of state to take advantage of being able to shoot drugs into their arms and then go out and shit themselves in front of Pioneer Place. Then there’s all the ancillary crime that this brings so you’ll see a big surge in that. Good job Portland.

Decriminalization will obviously help these productive members of society. They are released immediately because the police and DA doesn’t want to deal with the withdrawals if they get incarcerated.

Poont of clarity, laws on the books allowing synthetic opiods to be promoted are exactly what caused the new opioid epidemic.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

Why would burglaries and home invasions explode? Addicts that do that type of shit aren’t worried whether the drugs are decriminalized or not. They just want their fix.Kaepsknee said:
Noted idealogue weighs in. This was not the time to push this through. Once the eviction moratorium expires Jan 1st, there will be thousands more on the streets in Oregon.Duckwithabone said:I generally don’t think Oregonians make good governing decisions, but they nailed this. As usual the west coast is ahead of the curve.
Normalizing usage of highly addictive drugs like meth, Coke, heroin and oxy will destroy current solvent families and put more on the street in addition. Clearly you haven’t spent much time in our Cities on the West Coast other than the ‘Burbs to truly believe this is a good idea.
Property crimes, burglaries and home invasions will explode. Most property crimes now aren’t prosecuted and burglary suspects are mostly released on OR to never show up in court.
Believe the people that say they wish to see it all burn down.
I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not. I’ll leave that to others but thinking this will create more crime is pretty stupid.
bUT tHE WaR oN dRuGs!!!
The battle cry for every millennial that watches a shitty Vice documentary.
Guess what happens when demand becomes more than supply. The suppliers ramp up their efforts. And then you end up with more addicts. When you have more addicts, you have more crime. Crimes that currently are rarely prosecuted. In Portland proper, crime is already up almost 200% for the year. It has little to do with riot crimes as few of those are prosecuted. It has more to do with the pandemic and the Economic carnage caused.
If you're OK with innocents suffering more due to dimestore Policy, just say that. And these faery tail rehab centers that don’t exist, never will. As Marijuana receipts aren’t close enough to fund them.
Bit of a reply fail as I meant to reply to both you and The Marshall
Crack is still a thing too btw. I could score some right now if I wanted. Meth is definitely more popular though. -
That isn’t something political. People are upset when that happens to them.Kaepsknee said:
