I don't know for sure what's going on in Oregon, but let's try a hypothetical. Someone is selling heroin. Someone else comes along and steals his heroin. Can the dealer go to the police, and expect the police to seriously investigate the crime, and if possible recover his product? If so I'll believe it's really legalized. If not, it's not really.
Good points! Still believe that enabling the users is not benefiting them in any way. Spent some time working in a mid-town ED. What we’re doing is not humane IMO. Just noticed recently that our city is encouraging funding for “drug use programs.” 🤪 They can’t even bring themselves to call the extremes abuse. Narcotics can be used appropriately. We need a different term for those whose use destroys their lives. “Abuse” worked just fine.
