The problem is letting homeless and drug users literally camp out and loiter on public ground.
That's what I mean. By dicriminalizing drugs, derelicts shouldn't also just be allowed to laze about wasted in public. You want to do drugs? Why should I care as long as you do so in private? You want to be a blight or nuisance to the public, then suffer the same repercussions as anyone else doing the same as a result of other activities.

Most addicts only want help after they're buried under a mountain of legal problems, fines and realize they've lost all income opportunities. No legal problems? No incentive to clean up.
The homeless addicted to fentanyl and other drugs don’t care about legal problems, fines, and lost income opportunities. They just want their next fix.

Hold on there. Some of the best Psychologists, on this board, have assured us for years that legalization, of all drugs, was necessary to cure our crime problem, and the humane thing to do.
Another group swore we don't need a Bible to teach right and wrong, humans are born with a sense or right and wrong.

People sprawled on sidewalks and using fentanyl with no fear of consequence have become a common sight in cities such as Eugene and Portland.
I really don't give a damn if you choose to poison yourself. Just don't block the sidewalk. Very inconsiderate.

They should make it local option. Most of Oregon is conservative. Let Portland and Eugene do suicidal laws by themselves.

Drug legalization not working out well at all in Oregon
Well oddly enough neither does drug criminalization

People in Oregon need to realize that the jail house is an excellent cost effective place to detox. Jail is not a bad thing.

Also it would free up prison space for the "real" criminals. Except we aren't arresting them either.

“It was not a crazy thing to try at all, but I think they misunderstood addiction,” said Keith Humphreys, a Stanford professor who has studied the measure. “They really had the assumption that if you decriminalize, people would come rushing in saying, ‘Please, give me treatment,’ but addiction is not like cancer where people crawl through broken glass to get treatment.”
then it was a crazy thing to try. These people just can't bring themselves to say "this was a stupid idea"Posted on 11/12/23 at 4:37 pm to Eurocat
I think it is racist to change the laws and put people in jail. lol!
We need to keep the drug laws relaxed in Washington and Oregon letting them destroy these states.
Once the major cities are destroyed, we can sit back where these liberals might learn their lesson.

In reality, few drug users are taking advantage of new state-funded rehabilitation programs.
So some NGO run by some brother in law gets funded by the state, no doubt on a per ticket basis, 6000 issued, and 92 respondents. Hmmmm so Im paid to staff up for 6000 and have my cell number for the 92 that call. Thats gotta be a sweet deal, what cha think he got paid 300 bucks at 6000?????????

Portland and Eugene suck. If the state wasn't so fricked up, I'd give half a thought to moving to around Baker City, OR. The Umatilla and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests are beautiful.

Somebody needed to do the experiment so the rest of us could see the result. I’m glad it was only carried out in Oregon before other states rushed to do it
I think most people knew what the result would be without having to conduct said experiment.
