Don’t feel bad for us, mate. I’m not touching the thermostat for the next 5 to 6 months, I can go to a clean and efficient Popeyes run by a 100% Hispanic krewe and be back in time for kickoff with my order 100% correct, the air is crisp and pure and the rolling hills and mountains are lovely from my back yard. When I fly I have zero concern about being stuck next to some redneck or urban fatass who lops into my seat, and I have about $1,000,000 of property and possessions that I leave unguarded and unlocked at virtually all times.

In 2021, Oregon became the first state to decriminalize drug possession. However, the state has recently faced a large rise in overdose deaths and had the second-highest rate of substance abuse disorder in the U.S., according to a 2023 audit report.


What? I can't believe this. I guess next you are going to tell me that defunding the police is going to result in higher crime rates. Who woulda thunk it?

There's a difference between decriminalization and simply allowing open air drug use in highly public spaces. Portland could have still policed, they just chose not to.



This is what the anti-drug/anti-freedom people don't understand. You can not arrest people for possessing drugs while still policing public drug use, vagrancy, theft, and every other associated crime, aka crimes with a victim. People getting high in their home isn't the issue. This is no different than liberals trying to take guns from good citizens because thugs keep shooting each other.
