We’re already seeing the negative effects of decriminalizing marijuana. Oregon’s morons went even further. Every drug was decriminalized, including heroin and fentanyl.

You gotta love these arrogant leftists who think they know better through some form of enlightenment that never includes looking back at what actually worked. On an issue as important as this, how can you not have the humility to look back and realize our society has been through this before? The narcotics boom of the ’60s, ’70s, and early ’80s created a nightmare in our cities — a nightmare of overdoses and violent crime. Then, in the 90s, we figured out how to fix it, or at least get a handle on it, and those cities that took the lead of the urban miracle then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani created in New York came back to life.

Decriminalizing drugs will always create more junkies, which means more tent cities, more violent crime, and an implosion of your city’s standard of living.
