Alcohol is legal, yet we somehow manage to have open container laws. So no, that isn't a good metric. Anyone who equates drug legalization with free open usage on public property, allowing tent cities, allowing loitering on private property against the wishes of the owner, etc, is either ignorant or intentionally disingenuous.


You are being disingenuous. Once these laws pass degenerates come from all over and overwhelm the system. Not to mention ease of access gets more local users. The system cannot handle or afford the problems caused. Then you end up being portland and thw city is ruined.


And you cannot even compare alcohol to hard drugs. Really dude?

Imo the only answer is distribution of these drugs being as close to a life sentence as possible. Ruin others lives and you are done.

You absolutely can. There's zero difference other than a cultural acceptance of alcohol.

Alcohol consumption (again, we're ignoring the harms of the black market because if drugs are truly legal, there is no black market) is responsible for more death and destruction than every illicit narcotic combined, and it's not close.

Wouldnt be a problem if it were legal everywhere else.

Colorado fricked up being the first to legalize weed, which led to massive unflux of ne-er do wells. Portland did the same with hard drugs.
