when it is treated as a medical issue addicts have better success staying sober than when they are thrown in jail and have to white knuckle it for a couple months only to get released and start using againAddiction treated as a medical issue in legalized states is absurd as f.u.c.k.i.n.g. to end love.
you want to be like China?China did it perfectly. No police or courts or wasteful trials. A drug test is all.The penalties haven't decreased drug use.When Portugal did the same thing they saw incidents of overdose deaths decrease and overall drug use decreased as well.Should change the license plate motto to:
'The Drug Addict State"
Yep, you nailed that one.
More people entered rehab and crime went down.
Do you think drug users in Portugal are any different than American drug users?
I think like anything else, if you take away the penalties, drug use will increase.
All the money spent on the failed war on drugs did not result in a lowering of drug use. We have wasted hundreds of billions of dollars and the lives of tens of thousands of people and did not see any results.
And like I said in countries that have decriminalized drugs there is less crime, addiction decreases because it is treated as a medical issue. The countries save money by unclogging the courts and the cops are freed up to try to prevent more serious crimes.
That wouldn't work with some of our addicts. For most of them it would.
I like to use drugs on occasion.No Einstein, you take the power into your own hands, not the legislative mafia. If you don't do drugs, you have already won and need no pimps of law. Musicians take psilocybin because it enhances hearing, though with what they think is an added benefit: the psychedelic cartoon.
no there is a difference between the affects of a little bit of booze compared to a little bit of meth coke and heroinI guess every state in which you can drink alcohol should be called "The Alcoholic State."Should change the license plate motto to:
'The Drug Addict State"
You don't need to take drugs to commit crimes.

You want to get police and courts out of it. You want addiction treated as a medical issue. There it is, medical issue. Now you don't like it.So

Portugal Solved Its Drug Crisis. Why Can't America Do The Same?
When 1% of its population was caught in the grips of a heroin epidemic, Portugal took the radical step to decriminalize drugs. It worked.www.huffpost.com
Over the last nearly two decades, the number of heroin users in Portugal has been cut by two thirds and drug-related deaths have plummeted from more than one a day in 1999 to 30 in all of 2016. The fall in new drug-related HIV infections has been even more striking, with 18 recorded in 2016, according to a 2019 report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, compared with 907 in 2000.

Holy shit?! Thanks for the most off topic change of subject I have ever seen on here, that has absolutely nothing to do with this post.
WTF is the matter with you? TDS has literally broken you "people".
I put people in quotations..because you aren't acting like human beings, but instead behave like unthinking NPC robots programmed by MSM/DNC to act as retarded as possible..
You TDS afflicted turds cannot discuss anything without bringing up Trump..even when he has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Trump living rent free in that empty head of yours..
Get a fucking grip..then learn to stay on topic, shithead
QFPCheck Oregon's suicide rate a year from now. It will have doubled at a minimum.
www.cbsnews.com
For a grand total of 49 overdose deaths. Which means the previous year was 38 overdose deaths.
Overdose deaths increase by almost 30%
Deaths from overdose in Portugal increased by almost 30 percent in 2018 and reached their highest figure in the last five years, with most cases involving more than one substance, according to the SICAD reports.www.theportugalnews.com

I guess you didn't see the words "in a controlled setting".In Wisconsin, Tony Robinson was apparently playing in traffic high on psilocybin. The cops were called, Robinson was shot dead. Go Oregon!

I see you conveniently missed the part where the article said that Overdose deaths went from nearly one a day to 30 in a year.I didn't put a link in my response to you

Okay man..I hate HuffPo, but just for you..
I thought I would give it a read to see if it shows STATISTICS ON A DECREASE IN DRUG RELATED, OR INVOLVED CRIMES that coincided with legalization of heroin and other hard drugs.
And guess what, guy? It doesn't. Classic HuffPo..all fluff, no substance.
Also, I don't trust any information coming out of these countries that have done this, and are vested in showing that it works.
An independent study of the statistics done by another group outside of Portugal would carry more weight.
I also draw into question the way the Portuguese are reporting whether a crime is drug related or not..
Because if the Portuguese law enforcement isn't charging people for drug possession than it reasons they aren't reporting the presence of drugs, or substance abuse addiction as a cause in relation to the crimes being committed.
In some of these countries they're actually giving heroin to addicts to hopefully eventually wean them off the drug.
The Swiss Heroin Experiment | Addiction in Switzerland
Learn about Switzerland’s unique approach to heroin addiction, which includes the use of drug tolerance zones and heroin prescription programs.
I don't understand that? Essentially what they have now done is created a demographic of lifelong government funded drug addicts.
Again the studies reported from these countries say that there has been a decrease in drug related crimes, but I am not finding any links to the statistical data proving that assertion.
