Earlier this year, Oregon decriminalized leftist violence, rioting, and looting so it makes perfect sense the they’ve done the same thing with hard drugs like crack and meth. Everybody knows it’s more fun to burn down a federal courthouse when you’re whacked out of your gourd on heroin and now it’s possible. It’s also a lot more fun to be in Antifa with all of their criminal activities now completely legal in Oregon.
Fox News brings us this “what could possibly go wrong?” story of liberal insanity in the Pacific Northwest:
Oregon became the first state to decriminalize hard drugs like heroin, cocaine and meth in a 59-41% vote as of early Wednesday morning…
“People suffering from addiction are more effectively treated with health care services than with criminal punishments,” the bill reads. “A health care approach includes a health assessment to figure out the needs of people who are suffering from addiction, and it includes connecting them to the services they need.”
So it’s like “Defund the Police” only for drugs. Sounds awesome. So does this:
Instead of treating drug users as criminals, Oregon will now offer them addiction services funded by marijuana tax revenue, which is more than $100 million a year in the state.
The weed smokers of Oregon are now subsidizing the crackheads? I wonder if Hunter Biden is considering a move to the state. Actually, he probably got paid $83,000 a week to sit on the board that recommended this silly law. Sorry, that’s a bad joke because unlike natural gas, Hunter does have expertise and experience in smoking crack. I’ll try harder.
Only small amounts of drugs are decriminalized, such as less than 1 gram of heroin or MDMA; 2 grams of cocaine or methamphetamine; 12 grams of psilocybin mushrooms; and 40 doses of LSD, oxycodone or methadone.
Small amounts? I’m not a drug user and I don’t understand the metric system so I don’t know if 1 gram of smack is a little or a lot. I do know know that 40 doses of of LSD or Oxy is a shitload though. Holy shit.
Criminal penalties for possession of these amounts are replaced with a fine of up to $100, which can be waived if the user is evaluated at Addiction Recovery Centers.
But do they get to keep the drugs when they get not busted? Losing 40 hits of acid isn’t nothing.
This is what we call a slippery slope. First they decriminalize hard drugs and next they legalize medicinal narcotics. Suddenly every toothless dirt bag will have a sore foot and get issued a medical meth card. From there, recreational narcotics will be legalized and crack dispersers will go up right next to dare care centers. It’s called progress, you uptight conservatives.
Earlier this year the city of Portland voted to defund the police department by radically slashing its budget. Before that, the liberals in charge decided that rioting, looting, and assaulting people with different opinions was totally cool. Now that hard drugs have been decriminalized things are going to get real interesting. It’ll be like Mad Max without the cars but more speed.
