Oregon Decriminalizing Hard Drugs (1 Viewer)

Meh..Like any state, good parts and bad parts. 
Mom lives in Ashland, one sister and her Family lives in Medford.  Both beautiful areas (where they each live, anyway) but the state as a whole seems to have gone way too radical for my tastes. 
To each, their own I suppose.

Also, 100% against legalizing. 
It's not legal. 

 
Been a while since I did mushrooms but I "found" some this summer, made a very potent tea and had the sort of night where I lost my ball cap in a neighbor's house and couldn't find it for a month. Then one day I went over to play darts in his garage and it was perched on his shelf.  I said "hey, my hat!"  He said "That's yours?  I found it in my guest bedroom on the bed..."  :oldunsure:

So, uh....we won't be doing that anymore, legal or not.  
Whoa. It's been a long time for me but I try to stick to tripping in the woods and with someome sober to watch me just in case lol.

Yeah, traffic is bad.  BUT.....you don't have to sit in it.  I use the WES Train almost every day and avoid the daily traffic jams.  Many other folks can use the MAX Light Rail.  It isn't mandatory to use a car here.  You can also bike - plenty of bike lanes and one of friendliest cities in the nation for bikers.  

Homelessness is a huge problem, one that our current mayor has failed massively to address.  Slowly, there are affordable housing options coming, but this problem was allowed to manifest for far too long and it's an eyesore.  However, I don't think Seattle or San Francisco or other cities on the west coast are faring any better.  This is a national problem and not one relegated to Portland.

Rain?  Please.  This is the best weather in the country and I'll fight anybody who says otherwise.  Rarely above 100 degrees, rarely below freezing but we complain about a little rain?  I LOVE THE RAIN.  Keeps things green year round.  I like the vibrant colors of vegetation given to us by the rainfall.  You want brown frown?  Move to Colorado.  :P

Housing prices are higher than they used to be, but I'm not sure you're going to find affordable housing in San Diego, LA, The Bay Area or Seattle....not sure why Portland is getting singled out.  As a homeowner for 20 years, I'm quite pleased with the results, but I'm weird.  I like making money. 
Yes but are there any Buffalo Wild Wings to hang out at while you wait for your train?

Yep, this is the part where I'm more fully on board, and agree it's a health issue.  While I admit I'm a dinosaur and legalized drugs make me uncomfortable, focusing on helping these folks I can fully get behind.  Just hope the state does so.
It's not "legalized" drugs.  It's decriminalized.  It's still illegal.  It's just not punishable with prison time.  It'll be a fine.

There's a big difference between the two.

The only ones that should be doing jail time are those that are producing/distributing the drugs. 

 
You are free to your own opinion.  If you think Portland is a hell hole, avoid it.  Some of us like it here.  Some of us voted for the measures just passed.  I haven't attacked your positions or posts or opinions so kindly extend me the same courtesy.  
My intention was not to attack. My apologies.

 
I'm thinking about moving there. Can you give me some details?
I ride the trolly or max with homeless people. I step over over homeless people to get into my building. I get emergency messages to leave my work. I have been spit on. My building is evacuated multiple times. I have had a gun pulled on my bus driver.  My wife and co worker had had a knife pulled on them.

Downtown smells like urine. I dont need to do a essay...this is my Monday through Friday. And if you ride the WES, you dont know #### about what is happening in PDX.

The NW has got Burgerville who serves the most amazing Wild Alaskan Halibut Sandwich in the world. 

Burgerville Wild Alaskan Halibut Sandwich   Sorry no Walla Walla Onion Rings as they are out of season but have the Blue Berry Shake with a side of Chicken Sandwich.  

Drool

Honestly, its F'ng amazing. 🤤
Those eyebrows are f’ng amazing
Like caterpillars.  Any day now expect this... 🦋

Seriously though, the Wild Alaskan Halibut Sandwich at Burgerville is the best fast food sandwich in America and you can only get it in the NW.  I couldn't find any other vids or pics that show how delicious the sandwich is.  Look at her face when she eats it, orgasmic eye roll.

Oh and videotaping it during an intense 🌧️rain storm ⛈️ = classic NW.

Sounds lovely 

 
My  organization opened an outpatient alcohol and other drugs treatment center next door to a drive through bank. Shared the same wall.

Tellers demanded that the bank put in bulletproof glass due to fears regarding their safety.

Those providing tx services know that its not the people who are receiving and coming to public health services that you need to worry about. After a while it blew over and there were no incidents
