Ey yo Americans do you reckon it would have been anywhere near this close if it weren't for Covid, or has that not made much of a difference?
if Covid aint happen, the economy would be just as great as it was the 3 years we had under him. So yeah there would be little to complain about. I feel more strongly for Biden than Trump because of how he handled Covid but had that not happened, I'd be pretty indifferent, maybe even slightly lean to Trump.
Oregon legalized hard d****.. Their gonna have more halfway houses than farmers markets by next year
“For people caught with large quantities of substances, the penalty has been reduced from a felony charge to a misdemeanor.”

yea I really dont get it, I guess the opioid epidemic is old news and its time to make money with private halfway houses on every block.
Coming from someone who's known a lot of people with real addictions, I cant see this actually helping sobriety.

It's a step in the right direction, treating d*** use as a legal issue absolutely does not work and it's baffling that more countries haven't followed Portugal's lead on it
Anyone still use Plex? What's the best site these days to find hard to find films? Kyary use to let me use his plex but he gone

Every country is different so im not gonna compare the US to Portugal but you think legalizing d****, especially heroin laced with fentanyl is an active way to fight addiction ? It sounds like the most enabling thing you could do considering how hard a habit like that is to kick without it being "legal".
I've known more people reach sobriety through jail/prison/mandatory rehab than voluntarily checking into a treatment center. The rest are still in the streets or OD'ing before 30.

they wouldnt be doing fentanyl laced d**** if they could get them legally
they wouldnt be doing fentanyl laced d**** if they could get them legally
Yes they would.. But just to be clear your saying they would still be doing heroin just not off the streets for a cheaper price..

i dont know what the line of thought for users still dabbling in the current fent atmosphere is but im quite certain they would take safer d**** if they could. i know a handful of people in my town that have died from it and they were not street lurking junkies.

Yes. Decriminalisation on its own obviously does nothing, but the money you were spending on policing d**** (billions of dollars!) can be spent entirely on reducing the amount of people that take d**** AND reducing harm to the people that still take d****.
Portugal has both a low percentage of people who take hard d**** and a low percentage of overdoses within those d*** users, which wasn't the case 20 years ago. It's not just a free for all where everyone can buy whatever they want from a supermarket, and d*** possession is still policed in a sense, but addiction is treated as a disease not a crime. It works.

vancouver needs this so f***ing bad
still relevant more than 20 years later

yeah that last part is what a lot of people fail to realize about hard d*** addiction. there are so many high functioning users out there that you’d never even guess were on the s***. a lot of people risk their lives every day buying “black market” d****, and i don’t think it makes sense for anyone to be opposed to regulating these d**** and making them safer
yeah
