Its too bad you (the collective you, not you specifically) are too dumb to realize that the Democrats use every logical fallacy and instrument that you come up with against you.
Here's what happens next.
Democrats point out that Republicans don't believe that people are responsible enough for freedom. You said it yourself. They then use that to disarm your complaints when they take away freedoms YOU care about.

You want personal responsibility when it comes to drugs? You fricking got it buddy. Just try to OD in an out of the way corner.
Why couldn't Democrats use the same logic for soft drinks and junk food?

this is a terrible idea so long as other states aren't doing it as well. lots of druggie losers will move to oregon.

I think you misinterpreted my point. We as citizen’s In this society are born with freedoms. When someone has destroyed their life by disrespecting the public then they have shown to not be responsible enough to be a part of society and enjoying the freedoms. Destroying public space by being a bum drug head that lounges around and shits and pisses all over the place and generally being a eyesore and a hinderance on others should not be accepted. Allowing these types more leeway is not acceptable in a civilized society.

I sound like a democrat but democrats are the ones wanting these drug heads running around and destroying their cities. Y’all seem to have some backwards thoughts here. I could give a frick about labels.... I just don’t want peoples lives being destroyed or more importantly bums destroying public spaces like they have in places like Portland.

and you supported it since sugary drinks contribute to tons of health problems and societal costs, right?

I want to say Portland did this, and it was really bad.
tweakers literally hang out every where. They did a cover story, and showed this mother and her daughter going to an outside eatery, and 10 feet away, this tweaker is tweaking, while pissing and shitting himself.

Oh will we be able to tell the difference in Portland?
Making any drug illegal doesn’t really have any positive effects on society. It’s an over reach of Government power. No one should go to jail for doing drugs, because drug use isn’t necessarily morally wrong, as much as it is dangerous to the person doing it.

Let them do their drugs and if they get sick and start to die, let them die. Call me a-hole, IDGAF.
I’m not paying to help some worthless POS who has done drugs after drugs after drugs and has contributed nothing to society.

How much money could we save in the associated police, judiciary, and incarceration costs? Not to mention societal costs of having people be ex-cons, losing their fathers, etc.
Surely rehab and societal costs of increased usage is no more expensive than all that?
Bonus: You could cripple the Mexican cartels by legalizing production here. This creates a better neighbor to the South.
Also, I hate the idea of having to use economics to justify freedom. I’m willing to pay more for freedom.

Is the trafficking of said drugs also decriminalized?

wouldn’t that be a personal choice of the “peer”?
My problem with all this is the same as several others have stated regarding tax money.
Want an abortion or use heroin? I don’t give a damn, just stop paying for it with tax money.

It’s literally said in the OP.

The new law only applies to possession and does not make it legal to sell, distribute or manufacture drugs.

Just disgusting
A bunch of drug dealers and strung out druggies all around the state
This will do very well!

I won’t call you an a-hole. You’re just not paying attention to how ineffective it is to incarcerate a drug addict.
It’s significantly more expensive to incarcerate someone then it is to send them to rehab and attempt to remedy the issue. Once incarcerated, odds go up quite a bit that they will be incarcerated again. Particularly if it’s a felony charge. From a societal aspect, we’re setting them up to move from being an addict to a criminal.
Oregon is using profits from marijuana legalization to partially fund rehab facilities and programs. So it’s costing their people even less than typical incarceration.
It also frees up space in a crowded correctional system for people who actually need to be in jail/prison.
