As long as breaking laws where there are victims are still enforced. You shouldn't let a meth addict skip jail after they wrong someone. The biggest problem then becomes that "rehab" is simply a place where people who have no interest in cleaning up can get substitute drugs and new drug contacts at a very high monetary cost.

Rehabs need to divide people who actually want to become clean, and then isolate those people in something like a camp or commune for long periods. Most states have no great programs outside of detox and group houses.

That's a really good point. If someone smokes meth and then steals a car, the crime was stealing the car. If someone shoots heroin in their parent's basement, no crime is committed.

The only reason Oregon would give up its criminal drug revenue that in turn lines the pockets of the prison system is if they have a new "group" selected to occupy those prisons and fines...

you get more repeat offenders that way because they conspire better while being 'corrected' and of course it isnt as bad as jail. when welfare isnt given out drug sellers stand out easier. when mental health hysteria is removed it also makes it easier. yes blacks sell drugs like its apart of their culture. its one of the two careers that can take a person to hell according to the Buddha. the other career/job is being an actor. e, addicts are sellers but not all sellers are addicts.

I'd be fine with this, if there were 3 stipulations:

1) Addicts were forced into a rehab program with a proven track record, with the only offer to be permanently banished from the country instead

2) Drug dealing becomes an offense that carries the death penalty, with all of the dealers' property being seized to pay for the rehab program

3) Execs of pharmaceutical companies that are found to be knowingly pushing addictive prescription drugs beyond where they are absolutely necessary and of clear benefit are subject to (2)

I have no problems with this as long as they get the druggies to pay for it one way or another. I'm so sick of social programs where the perpetrators get a free ride and the victims and tax payers are the one to pay.

From what I read they are gonna pay for it with a chunk out of the tax they put on marijuana.

Why can't you just legalize without clogging up rehab with people who don't want to quit?

Portugal decriminalized drugs some years ago and has had success https://wearechange.org/portugals-success-story-decriminalizing-all-drugs/

Switzerland provides maintenance doses to addicts as long as they don't get arrested https://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.pn.2018.6b15

This is poison to society. Kids will think if it's legal than it's not bad; similar to alcohol and tobacco. We should not accept degenerate behavior, nothing good will come from this.

This is the reality. The war isn't about the drugs and it's certainly not on personal choices (and the governments role in what they should be able to "allow" via law) It's about normalcy and acceptance.

When society drops accountability for itself (and the drug addiction of children) based on things like "choice" ...then it's designed to be nothing but addicted fools desperate to keep their addictions.

$100 dollars or rehab. Not really any teeth in that bill.
