Effort at Recriminalizing Drugs in Oregon
Did they make a huge mistake? Now Oregon is looking to turn things around with a recriminalization of drugs. Will other areas follow? Is placing non-violent drug users behind bars going to be the solution to issues like crime that people have been complaining and worried about?
The new changes could mean that even those who are caught with small amounts could face something like probation or possible time behind bars, depending on the circumstances. Is this going to be enforced though? is this a last ditch effort of reps to act like they are trying to fix the issue that so many community members are worried about?
We already saw what a nightmare the war on drugs caused for decades, with so many families and lives ruined because of the overbearing attitude of the state in situations of non-violent drug use. Is limiting liberty when it comes to personal consumption use or possession really the right way to go? For those who can't help but only think of regulating and criminalizing behavior, it's a no brainer why they would again move in this direction. Did anyone ever think that decriminalization would lead to a reduction in drug use? If the goal is to get people sober then it hardly makes sense how recriminalization or decriminalization is going to accomplish that goal. You cannot force people to get sober who aren't ready to live that way. The resources that are allocated to that endeavor also gravely underestimate the problem.

The problem is that Oregon never really legalized the drugs they decriminalized. They left crooks that run the black markets in control of supply. If they had actually legalized it, and required pharmacies to provide it to adults OTC, the criminal gangs that give it to children to hook them, then have slaves dependent on them for their drugs, that adulterate cannabis, ecstasy, and meth with fentanyl to create addicts and don't care at all about accidental OD's that result, would have been out of a job.
Solving the crisis requires actual legalization and the provision of only clean supplies to adults, and not children. Since the CIA runs the black markets of the world, and are the premier mindfuckers extant, it didn't happen in Oregon, and it doesn't look like it will.
Thanks!
