re: Oregon just re-criminalized drug possession and use

So is the goal to stop people from using illegal drugs? Because that's not going to happen.

Honestly, I think drugs like heroin, cocaine, and several others should be sold legally. Since people are going to do it no matter what, at least let sell them a product they know what they are getting.

I am just curious if privatized prisons have any part of this. They want as many prisoners as possible, that's how they make money. Im just thinking.. because its politics.. Things are usually done because someone is gaining from it.
