Oregon decriminalized drug use.
Overdoses spiked 700%
The point is that people who are addicts will find and use drugs/alcohol, whether it's legal or not.
I hate to be devil's avocado here but this isn't a slam-dunk, because Portugal decriminalized drugs and it resulted in a massive reduction in OD deaths.. https://transformdrugs.org/blog/drug-decriminalisation-in-portugal-setting-the-record-straight
I'd say the problem is an 'Oregon problem' rather than a drug problem. Whatever they're doing over there, it ain't workin
Correct. Moreover, it's a general ethics/morals issue unique to each person. As another anon mentioned in an above comment chain, there are many functional non criminal substance users.
Not everyone who uses a gun is a murderer, yet people are shot every day by a criminal with a gun.
What we are lacking as a society is a proper response to nonviolent criminal usage and those who can no longer care for themselves due to clinical addiction.
One possible solution is bringing back asylums. Of course there's so much reform to apply to the old base systems and plenty of opportunity for corruption, but potentially done to great success.
i'm down for asylums. Too many drug users clogging up the jails and they don't even get helped in there tbh
