I knew once these fuckers here made pot legal, they would turn their attention to hard drugs. This is just the start.
This is Oregon for you, the deep blue cesspool.

Oregon Legislature Passes Bill To Decriminalize Cocaine, Meth, And Heroin

Oregon’s state legislature just reduced penalties for drug possession in a bill also intended to reduce racial profiling by law enforcement agencies.

H.B. 2355 passed both the House and Senate last week and reduces possession of illegal drugs to misdemeanors rather than felonies as long as the person in possession does not have prior drug convictions. According to a press release issued on July 7 by Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, the bill provides for “the reduction of penalties for lower level drug offenders. The bill also reduces the maximum penalty for Class A misdemeanors by one day to avoid mandatory deportation for misdemeanants.”

Looks like it is only for possession. Selling it is still gonna be a crime, and probably a big one.

Trump is underfunding the Attorney General's office, which means he has a steep reduction in prosecutors, which means.....Sessions is not much more than hot air and states will and have taken the initiative to run their states as they see fit..Trump is taking back the federal level of control by the same means the ancient Romans armies lost control, a lack of funds....

Bringing up drinkers is entirely irrelevant to the fact that druggies are worthless trash.

Of course it is a total failure. All these so called wars by big unlimited government, are failures. They are purposely designed to fail in perpetuity...so that government can continue to grow in power and wealth.

My point was, what DD said was just as ignorant as what i said.
Just because some people do drugs, doesnt mean they are useless. That is stupid.
Maybe you can explain how alcohol is better than all drugs?

It is a failure, but your reasoning is flawed by your biases. You hate government, and in general, the law. In general because laws that restrict others you support, but laws which restrict you, you oppose.

Two of the most dangerous drugs, tobacco & alcohol, are legal and regulated. When alcohol was made commercially illegal by prohibition, it created a massive black market; in economic terms it created a cost deficit owing to the loss of taxes and cost of enforcement.

It is well past time to re evaluate our drug laws. Sadly Atty. General Jeff Sessions maybe the worst person on earth to do so. I suppose leaders of the drug cartels might be worse.

Riiight because Liberals are never those things.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

If this is what liberals want, let them have it and confine it to their own side of the border. Stop supporting the druggies. Stop giving them narcan when they overdose. Let them die peacefully and reduce the drugged population.
