Drugs, despite their bad reputation, exist on a scale.
On one end sit the innocuous and relatively safe substances. Caffeine (yes, it’s a drug), tobacco and cannabis are all common examples that people around the world consume daily, often in legal settings.
On the other end of the spectrum sit the “hard” drugs. Methamphetamine, cocaine and opioids like heroin hook people and slowly drain the new addicts of their health and sanity.
In response to this deadly poison, most places around the world have outlawed hard drugs.
Of course, progressive Oregon is not like the rest of the world.
State voters decisively passed Measure 110 on Election Day, decriminalizing possession of small amounts of hard drugs. Now, those caught carrying the poison will only face a non-criminal violation.
According to The Oregonian, partial returns showed the measure was passed 62.5 percent to 37.5 percent.
I am interested to see how this plays out. Truly a social experiment in America for the decriminalize argument.
I hope all the dopers migrate to Oregon.
Wow
All to collect easy TAX $$$$$$$$ !!!! Should be ILLEGAL !!
