Oregon’s state legislature just passed controversial new drug legislation, H.B. 2335, with the stated intent to stop alleged racial profiling of minorities.
The war on drugs, however, goes far beyond race. Much like everything else here in the U.S. the real problem starts with the Kool Aid – the ideas or rather thought patterns we’ve been programmed from infancy to uphold.
Say a state were to decriminalize meth and crack to stop racial profiling. Would that mean that the government gave their moral seal of approval on drug use? No. First of all when the heck did conservatives get on board with the government being Big Brother? When did the establishment, the Deep State or what have you, take over both parties? Any partisan issue we are arguing about today be it health care, the war on drugs, you name it, is pointless.
Secondly, decimalizing is not sanctioning, and back to our main topic at hand that goes onto explain on the 2nd page why H.B. 2335 is a perfect illustration of this diabolical ineffective system entrapping the President and our country. More information on how this will affect immigration and deportation as well.

No wrong! actually they are saving money on incarceration and realizing that we’ve been fighting this was on drugs spending 40 billion dollars a year incarcerating people making them into criminals keeping them in that cycle. If you really believe in choice as you say we should let people use drugs as we do with alcohol tobacco and firearms. But that’s if we really believe in small government and freedom.
Drug addicts kill officers lol
DEA and FBI need to go in and arrest these people who are running the damn government.
You realize the cost of incarceration is 40 billion dollars a year lol. Give me some statistics to back this claim up. Putting them in jail IS WELFARE. 3 meals a day free health care and 30,000 a year to incarcerate someone for drugs. Explain to me again how that is not “welfare” when we pay to house feed and provide free health care again?
We will see just give it time. I have seen meth heads and heroin users in their best moments. Their cost of keeping this population will sky rocket. Health problems will increase and so will the cost of medical care.
No actually they are saving the taxpayer with the 40,000 A year we pay to put someone in jail for low level non violent drug offences when they still use drugs in jail lol.
Nope! Drugs are everywhere they are saving the tax payer with the 40,000 $ we spend a year to jail feed and provide free health care. Plus they use drugs in jail lol.
Oregon is going the way of California, down the toilet for sure.

True but it doesn’t stop with the taxpayer. Everybody has a responsibility to take care of their health not just for themselves but for family members or friends that your problem falls on for care, due to your recklessness. Have you ever witnessed the years of heartache of parents, spouses or children who have to deal with an addict? I have.
WTF
