"State Rep. James Hieb Misted Downtown Portland With Pepper Spray
Alongside the Proud Boys

He was then arrested for drunken, disorderly conduct at the Clackamas
County Fair after becoming a legislator."

"For the past two weeks, a state lawmaker has faced intense scrutiny
following his arrest for disorderly conduct at the Clackamas County Fair.

On the night of Aug. 17, state Rep. James Hieb (R-Canby) was intoxicated
and belligerent when Clackamas County sheriff’s deputies attempted to
eject him from the fairgrounds. (A fair employee had asked him to stop
smoking a cigarette.) After a sheriff’s deputy told Hieb he was going to perform a pat-down, the legislator revealed he was carrying a concealed handgun.

WW has learned of a previous encounter Hieb had with the criminal
justice system in which he was less than forthright about the weapons he carried and how he used them.

Video shows Hieb at a 2020 clash between right-wing militants and their left-wing adversaries, covering his retreat from downtown Portland with
a mist of pepper spray.

Hieb’s actions were captured in a video he gave to defense lawyers in
the 2021 trial of Alan Swinney, a former Proud Boy who was sentenced to
10 years in prison after aiming a loaded gun at a crowd and shooting a
man in the eye with a paintball gun during the 2020 encounter. Hieb was
called as a witness for Swinney’s defense at that trial.

Hieb said he showed up at the downtown event Aug. 22, 2020, as a member
of the Young Republicans of Oregon. He said he arrived in the “early afternoon” and met up with a childhood friend. His aim: “to film terrorists.”

Multnomah County prosecutors grilled Hieb about his intentions that day.
In cross examination, senior deputy district attorney Nathan Vasquez
asked Hieb what he’d brought with him. He responded: “a camera.”

Vasquez pressed him: “That’s all you had?” Hieb then admitted to
carrying both a concealed gun and Mace, but denied “withholding” that information from prosecutors.

Hieb said he did not pull out his gun that day. But the video confirms
he did use his Mace."

"It’s not the first time Hieb has had run-ins with the law. He was
charged with a DUII in 2004 and disorderly conduct in 2012, among other offenses. He was found not guilty of the latter charge, telling KOIN TV
that it was related to a family drama.

Hieb’s troubles with the law seem to contradict his legislative agenda.
In a bio published on the Oregon House website, he claims “public safety
is at the top of my list of priorities.”

As of Tuesday, Hieb remained a legislator. His name will appear on the
ballot come November."

A small study on the therapeutic effects of using psychedelics to
treat alcohol use disorder found that just two doses of psilocybin
magic mushrooms paired with psychotherapy led to an 83 percent decline
in heavy drinking among the participants. Those given a placebo
reduced their alcohol intake by 51 percent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/25/health/psilocybin-mushrooms-alcohol-addiction.html

He probably should start off with some free counseling at our
local Vet Center. He sounds like a classic case of PTSD.

He lives in a good area for that sort of shroom. When the weather
is warm and wet we have them just about anywhere that has had cow or
horse manure spread around. I've found them in my backyard and in public
parks around here.

"Is Oregon Ready for the Coming Psilocybin-Fueled Mushroom Tourism Boom?"

"Next year, Oregon becomes the first state in the nation where it will
be legal for adults to take psilocybin—the active ingredient found in
magic mushrooms—as a therapeutic treatment watched over by a trained facilitator.

A handful of hippie-luxe spots in Southern Oregon—an easy day’s drive or flight from Portland and San Francisco—are aiming to open by spring
2023, catering to trip-seeking tourists who want their shrooms with a
splash of spa retreat and a side of organic meals. In the metro area,
day-use clinics are already planning for a rush of people in search of
guided trips."

I expect that some of the farmers who used to call the cops when
they saw young people in their fields will start charging for admission
to their fields.

I remember one time when I was a student at Skagit Valley College, in Mt. Vernon, WA., hundreds of those little brown nippled, "electric" shrooms popped up across the lawns... It started a feeding frenzy of students harvesting them.....
