2010 Oregon: legalize marijuana!
2020 Oregon: well that didn’t go as planned. Dispensaries become major part of local economy. Fentanyl and drugs crisis abound. Population leaves. City becomes a toxic dump.
2023 Oregon: legalize mushrooms!
(Dates are approx., going off memory)
Sigh… I used to be in the “legalize it” camp. I consider myself mostly-libertarian. But then I saw drugs destroy #Portland. I recognize the pharmaceutical difference between pot and “hard” drugs, and I support individual choice. But how can one say something is “good” when you’ve witnessed it’s destructive powers on a society. I go down Sandy Blvd and it is nothing but burnt out RVs and decay. The only prosperous businesses are head shops.
