Tonight, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt testified
in favor of Oregon legislators’ latest proposal to recriminalize
hard drugs, ending a lengthy public silence on whether he supports
rolling back the heart of the 2020 ballot measure that made Oregon
the first state in the country to decriminalize the possession of
small amounts of heroin, meth and fentanyl.

How quickly they turn .... :-)

Look, there's no perfect - or even halfway perfect - fix
for the 'drug problem'. Criminalization = Big Crime,
legalization = Social Dissolution. It's a human nature
thing, people just LOVE their drugs and will get 'em
and take 'em no matter what even if it kills them. It's
how the species is hardwired.

So, what ya gonna do ?

Throw all the dopeheads/dealers in jail for 50 years and
you'll run out of jail space real quick - and $$$ to run
any such system even if you turn some big island into
a gulag. Oh, and up the stakes too much and the crime
gets more and more violent. On the flip, go TOO easy
on 'em and it will be a situation similar to the west
coast BlueVilles streets - a "no worries, gimme a
bag of ..." attitude.

Not every human issue has a good solution. We just have
to kinda kludge our way through it.

Oh the best policy with drug abusers is to give them enough Fentanyl
to
do them selves in. Back when China had millions of opioid addicts Mao
just had his police shoot them in the back of their head. Everybody
gotta die sometime and it would be much cheaper then putting them up
in a steel bar hotel.

And then you call yourself "pro-life".

I don't care if a woman has 100 abortions and the State kills a million murderers.
