Oregon legislature passes bill to decriminalize heroin, meth, and cocaine

The War on Drugs is a total failure
The war on drugs is a total disaster.

People who use drugs are a total disaster.

Self righteous and judgmental; it's a common conservative malady.
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.

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.
No my reasoning is flawless, as usual.

Government's number one purpose is to grow in power and wealth. Keeping drugs illegal is but one avenue allowing for this.

We even had a POTUS who purposely purchased firearms in the USA and gave them to the drug cartels. Now that is big government at it's best.
 
Creating a population of drug users will certainly grow big governnent as users need a parental government to care for them. The parental government has to be strong enough to force the productive to feed, clothe and shelter those too addicted to care for themselves.

How so? Kept a lot of drugs off the streets.
Not really.
Yes, really. Shows how much you know.
I know there are drugs absolutely everywhere and cartels are making countless billions every year. Good job drug war. :rolleyes:
I'll bet you do know where to get drugs but they are not "everywhere".

I guess the war on murder, rape, pedophilia, assault, etc. is a lost cause too.

Drugs ARE everywhere, prisons are overflowing, and drug lords are billionaires. Good job drug war.

Yeah it's great if you like paying for the largest prison population on the planet while not putting a single dent in the drug trade.
 
I knew once these fuckers here made pot legal, they would turn their attention to hard drugs. This is just the start.

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.”

I live in Colorado, and my impression thus far of the legalization of Pot is that it has been a good thing overall. I wouldn't want to have harder drugs legalized here, but I support the right of any state to deal with drugs as they see fit.

There is good evidence that criminalization is the wrong approach to minimizing hard drugs and addiction. Treatment is paying off big in other countries, rather than locking them away.

Good for Oregon. It's about time Americans began figuring out what others already know

Exactly. What happened to the conservative belief in the Tenth Amendment?

I agree, Pot/MJ listed as schedule I is absurd. The one concern is its long term effects when used by adolescents and young adults. See the note from the AAP (pediatric drs. assoc) in the link below. IMO meth ought to be a schedule I drug; the damage it does to users can be seen in mug shots taken over months, not years of chronic use.

Riiight because Liberals are never those things.

Of course some of us (liberals) are, but it is not a condition for membership as a liberal, as it is in the conservative wing of the Republican Party. There, a member who wants to provide treatment and not punishment to a drug abuser is tossed under the bus.

Are you suggesting that the entire country exist to serve the needs of drug addicts?

I will judge people who use drugs such as meth and heroin. They are miserable human beings who cost society billions of dollars with their utter irresponsibility.

Drugs ARE everywhere, prisons are overflowing, and drug lords are billionaires. Good job drug war.
And the reason why they are everywhere is because of people having the ability to make them at all to begin with. That right there is what needs to be stopped if it can be and once it has been stopped, there won't be anything to sell, use, or be in possession of in the first place.

God bless you always!!!

Many things used long term and irresponsibly are harmful. If that is a reason for illegalization, then tobacco and alcohol should be illegal.

It gave organized crime their power and brought about the rise of street gangs and all the associated violence. It also brought about the trampling of civil liberties - no knock raids, civil asset forfeiture, prison for profit, and corruption on a grand scale. It has given rise to a permanent underclass of citizens who have drug convictions and are unable to get jobs.
