They legalized mushrooms and some other drugs and then (if I recall) made it to where possession wasn’t a crime. Half of Oregon (I imagine you can identify it based on population density) now most likely thinks legalizing drugs means allowing the bad behavior that comes from some of its users. Rather than realizing that alcohol is legal and has bad users as well that cause major harm to our communities but we wouldn’t dare take that away again.
I live in Indiana right on the central Illinois border. Weed is legal in Illinois but illegal in Indiana. You would think all those towns by the Indiana border would welcome the tax revenue from having dispensaries in them (Michigan towns do this to attract Indiana buyers). Nope. Those redneck counties decided that crime would run rampant in their little towns and passed resolutions banning dispensaries.
People from around here still go to Illinois to buy weed. They just drive an hour to do it. It’s worth it to them, but they would definitely buy more often if it was one county over. And while we’re not a huge city, it’s a decent enough sized market that they would definitely get a lot of business. Morons.
I know someone who has actually. They didn’t actually harm anyone but they did wave a knife around and it 100% would’ve got bad had they not been tackled to the ground. This shouldn’t stop u from doing shrooms tho just know your limits.
Yikes! Must have been a very bad trip. That sounds more like defensive behavior though, rather than violent intent.
You really shouldn’t tackle people who are holding knives. I was watching Cops once and this lady was waving around an 8" chef’s knife. One cop tackled her and the knife ended up embedded to the hilt in her chest. Idk if she died, but she was definitely fucked up.
I wish it was just those mouth breathers. It’s also people sick of seeing people smoking fentanyl in Portland, but like I said, that’s happening in most cities, not just Portland
No, Oregon by comparison to a large swath of states is definitely on the top end of intelligence. But 48% of a state is definitely still not happy about drug legalization and decriminalization. That’s just something we will deal with as political attitudes change.
You literally responded to someone who said “this is half of Oregon” and then proceeded to strawman your own foolish opinion that the state must be stupid.
Do you understand what being a hypocrite is or do you just actively engage in comments in bad faith?
That’s what half of Oregon thinks right now
Mind enlightening me… What’s going on in Oregon?

Thank you for explaining!
Nobody has ever gone on a violent rampage on mushrooms.

Drugs were decriminalized. Crime and overdose has gone up everywhere but a majority of Oregonians seem to believe that decriminalization is the cause.
Removed by mod
Crime and overdoses went up across the country, not just in states where drugs were decriminalized.
Is it the half that wants to be annexed by Idaho? It is, isn’t it?

So Oregon is stupid.

Someone can be unhappy with drug legalization, but believing in strawman to support your point is not cool
Let me introduce you to every Republican ever
