Comment on Oregon Reverses Liberal Drug Law After "Losing A Generation" To Addiction

What Tyler Durden doesn’t tell you is that 260 million dollars were allocated for treatment, housing and employment help, naloxone distribution and other services to help people escape addiction and what happened? Foot dragging happened, and little to no effort was put into actually assisting people in trouble. Very little of the allocated funds were used for their intended purpose, cops got no additional training (despite what pro-cop liars will tell you), aside from “write a ticket”.
What a shocker that decriminalizing and doing nothing else didn’t work out well. The solution? Go back to the war on drugs as if that worked.

Oregon in the main cities is blue. It just shows democrats can’t govern. The fault is on the democrat for screwing this up.
I’m glad they are back to enforcing. I don’t need to someone shooting up at the local gas station.

“I don’t need to someone shooting up at the local gas station”
Conservatives prefer shooting to happen in schools, not gas stations.

It wasn’t democrats dragging their feet (or straight up obstructing) on treatment and social services for Americans in need.
The problem with democrats is that they are dumb for continually trying to collaborate with republicans, who don’t want to cooperate on anything.

No it was. Oregon is very blue. This is a big failure of the Democrats.
It is weird to try to blame the Republicans when the Democrats are in power. LIke most things the Democrats touch, they fail.
