RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:But Good Citizens In Canada Don't Need Guns, Right ? That's about right for guns. The BC drug decriminalization is just a trial, so if it goes badly it will be revoked. Portugal decriminalized drugs and they've seen positive impacts, as have the Netherlands, Germany, Czechia, and Switzerland. So I have hope for BC.
As far as I can tell, Oregon saw an increase of 33% in overdose deaths last year. That was higher than the US average of 15%, but overdoses had also increased by 30% in 2020, before decriminalization occurred. Fentanyl made its way to the west coast, and its effects were devastating. We'll need to wait a couple years to see if this is a trend or an aberration. As I've said, it has had positive impacts in other countries, but that doesn't mean it'll work the same way for Oregon and BC.

You further are in favor of the BC 2.5 gms of hard deurgs being decriminalized.
So I say the BC thing will end badly.
State of Oregon decriminalized hard drugs last year and this year they have seen an increase of 700% in over doses. I saw that on a local Portland news cast.. The dimwits excuse is that the law was never designed to reduce over doses but just to fight the war on drugs. That argument makes about as much sense of your argument.
Just so you know I never want anything in Canada to mimick the USA.
My wife and I used to spend two weeks every Seotember in the San Francisco Bay area, we have traveled to NY City, and we owned a property in Maui and Las Vegas.
Maui was ok never will we travel to the US again.
