Progressives keep failing. Most of what they advocate result in disaster and not saving people.
Never let a Democrat tell you who you can or can't vote for America!
America, dont be a puppet pundit of the Democrat circus act, if you can help it and have the ability to think for yourself.
Its shocking that a doctor would take such an indifferent attitude to glaring statistics!!
I think it's a good idea. Let people do what they want but beware the consequences. I thought this was a free country. I'm sure this is a cherry-picked report sponsored by big pharma.
These trends are implying that this is only occuring in Oregon. This is a national trend that is caused by inaction by the DEA.
We need a DEA that will actually stop drug smuggling…but I guess that would hinder the precious, corrupt roots that underlie the DEAs relationship with the cartels.
You got to make rehab required for these type of things if you’re going to decriminalize
Meh. Let’s give this more time.
Folks weren’t recovering or being treated by incarceration.
The police can’t do anything but punish and jail. They definitely aren’t a viable solution or helpful
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You liberals are funny
I was on it really bad. Getting help is the key, don’t do it your self. The meds they have well help you out a lot. I got me off. The KEY is you have to want to quit. You can do it!!!!
Sometimes you get tired of kicking and quit. Y’all are making it too easy. It’s not tough love, it’s real talk and honesty.
Oregon is a supreme progressive democrat utopia
Those who voted for this are dumb and stupid
Biden’s america 👍👍👍
How are the homeless who use going to pay a $100 fine?
The middle path.
When dems handle dangerous proposals this happens
What a great law
This is what happens when we let Darwinism play out.
You voted for it, you got it.
Arresting people for possession does not deter them from using and infringes on our rights. Also, how do you expect the problem to get better if you don't properly fund vital services ?
Sunk cost fallacy. The data is there… it's ok to admit defeat if this helps more people.
