https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/g5bkey/possession-of-all-drugs-is-decriminalized-in-oregon-starting-today

These are the new possession limits in order to avoid a criminal charge:

Less than 1 gram of heroin
Less than 1 gram, or less than 5 pills, of MDMA
Less than 2 grams of methamphetamine
Less than 40 units of LSD
Less than 12 grams of psilocybin
Less than 40 units of methadone
Less than 40 pills of oxycodone
Less than 2 grams of cocaine

The measure also means people caught with the following amounts of drugs will be charged with simple possession, a misdemeanor offence, rather than a felony:

1 to 3 grams of heroin
1 to 4 grams of MDMA
2 to 8 grams of methamphetamine
2 to 8 grams of cocaine

Good job Oregon.

All joking aside, I am okay with this.
On this list, I would think LSD is the most surprising to see.

The measure does not make it legal to produce and sell drugs in Oregon.
Then what's the fucking point?

The point is we don't want them legalized, we want to stop arresting people for using which is a net negative for literally everyone except private prisons.

Because now people won't be going to jail just for having some coke or LSD that they want to use on their off day.

It's also a big step towards legalization.
Nah, legalization of LSD might happen in some form but it should only be medical, nothing else should be legalized.

Anyway I think this is a good move. We should be moving toward rehabilitation for drug use, not punishment

We definitely should not legalize and produce fucking heroin or meth.

Just decriminalize the shit and help the people you catch.

They would still serve a purpose in terms of education and help with dosages. Although if legal, I suppose normal dosages could be printed on the product labels.
You don't really see someone clandestinely buy a handle of vodka on a streetcorner, and then quickly get blasted into unconsciousness in a nearby McDonalds restroom.

40 tabs of LSD is a fucking lot, way more than 'personal' use as indicated by the other thresholds.

not complaining, just surprised.

does this make it legal to buy? if they intervene in a sale, will they only go after the seller, or are both parties still at risk until the buyer walks away?

i really want to try something on that list, for medical reasons, but it's still illegal everywhere else and afaik, trails are not really an option either. but i definitely don't want to try it enough to risk arrest.

edit: hopefully i phrased that in a way that's gamefaqs friendly. suddenly this topic is surrounded by feds, lol

But honestly the biggest thing I'm thinking about is clean needles.
If heroin were legal, not only could you buy it at the "tobacco" register at walmart, but you could also buy a stack of syringes from the pharmacy section without much problems. Locking those up "because junkies" just made things worse for everyone, especially so for diabetics.

Uh I'm pretty sure "wiping our hands" of people is never a net gain for society. The abandoned don't just disappear because you pretend they don't exist.

Decriminalization and rehabilitation are a response to how our punitive justice system does little to stem crime and just perpetuates crime and problems within our society.

As I have said before, the best way to be selfish is to want as many people comfortable as possible. Unless you're so rich you live in a private island compound, crime, poverty, and death have a direct impact on your life's bottom line.

A prescription would fix that, but yeah it:'s annoying as shit when I have to sell syringes OTC. Those are minutes I could spend doing other work.

Agreed, or they are going on the notion of having some on hand for when you need it because it can be difficult to get.

~Not that I would know. But I've heard rumors to that effect.
