Very timely article. I assumed he was talking about decriminalizing all drugs in Oregon, not just cannabis.
This article uses percentages, but I’ve seen the 1250 number elsewhere.
“In 2019, 280 people died of a drug overdose in Oregon. Fatalities rose every year after, more than tripling by 2022, when 956 died. And last year, even more people died, according to preliminary data. Each month the number has been higher than the previous year, reaching 628 in June. The state is still compiling data for 2023, but if the trends continue, the total would reach 1,250 deaths from an overdose.”

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek declared a state of emergency in Portland due to sharp rises in overdose deaths, public drug use, and crime.

I do know a good number of people smoking weed and eating gummies for pain and anxiety in which they had been prescribed Opioids and other additive medicines that do lead to OD's. And they are smoking pot instead of taking the pills.
So- I can't find any reason legalized pot has anything to do with OD's that are mostly happening because of fentanyl and opioid addiction.
Funny how you chose this post to reply to with all of the trolling by rc91
Do you have a relationship with him?
I don't recall a time when the media was necessarily suddenly worse than it has always been. I must be missing something. Over 100 years ago the term yellow journalism was coined. There has always been good and bad in news reporting. My sense is more that it's the public and their demands and expectations that have changed more than that the media changed. This might be in part due to the changes brought about by Lee Atwater, who started the radicalization of Republican voters by insisting on demonizing Democrats with words like "sick" and "disgusting" and mailings that claimed things like Democrats wanted to outlaw the Bible. It set us down a bad path.
And you continue to be a clueless moron. Keep drinking the kool-aid and believing your tinfoil hat conspiracy bullshit. Dumbass.👌 Hood Dude

That’s actually a good one. 😊
You’re both trolling each other.
Fair point.
Hush Dunce Cap. You're worthless and mindless.
I'm not sure how often it happens, but people who smoke pot can be either exposed to other drugs and begin them due to the surrounding group/peer pressure or pot smokers look for alternatives to their usual and experiment with more potent substances.
While I get that- I don’t think legalization has anything to do with it.
We have been talking forever about pot being the gateway drug. Not sure how true, it may be the chicken or egg argument.
And unless someone has been sleeping in the woods for the past decade, OD’s are coming from the Opioid/ fentanyl problem, not legalized pot.
I am not saying there are no ODs. I’m saying there’s no evidence the ODs are in any way related to legalization of pot. OTOH, there is evidence that there’s no correlation.
Dunce Cap doubles down. You can always be counted on to have nothing to say but childish insults.
No one likes you.
Well, maybe a few other nutjobs like HoodGuy and Dementia Dave.
Lol der...fyi: I have no desire to be liked by the fascists of the rwcj.

You're not getting it, Dunce Cap. You're the one who's a joke. Literally all you do is insult people like a 10 year old. The fact that you're unaware of it is just sad. Seriously, animated gifs? Lol.
I would like to get the oranges of these claims. Has anyone looked at the supply change for them? I heard Nikki Haley took over the supply change on Jan 6, after George Washington took the airports from the Yo Semites who nuked the hurricane.
If you disagree with another CEsspool member you get expelled. You don't want to be kicked off the supply change. Then you don't get invited to have covfefe and hamberders in Thighland. Your ticket will be stollen by Frederick Douglass and used to start WW2.
I am guessing a lot of them will be toking after a certain appellate court decision this morning.
Very far left wing people believe in single payer healthcare
Very far right people believe Taylor Swift is a Pentagon plant and that the Constitution should be terminated.
The very far left is Bernie Sanders. The very far right is wearing "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirts and beating the police with the American flag.
What you're saying had more currency before the very far right decided to cast their lot with a rapist.
If you don't believe it, just ask the righties what they think about John McCain, Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney. It's very much one group of people responsible for 99% of the problems.
Seriously ? A lot of 10 year olds are way sharper than Proud boy.

The problem of course that about 24 other states have legal weed and didn't have this problem.
There are areas of the country with big drug problems. I don't believe there's any dispensaries on Staten Island for example, but check out the overdose rate versus a lot of other places in NYC/S and NJ.
You’re crazy Pride Guy
How does it feel to know that the majority of Americans would prefer a gay neighbor to one who supports an adjudicated rapist?
Gotta be a bitter pill.
And they'd prefer a refugee. They'd prefer a trans person.
You have lost in big ways you can never imagine.
I agree that legalized weed wouldn’t cause this significant of a rise in overdoses. Oregon didn’t just legalize weed, they decriminalized all drug possession. There’s a great chance that is what caused this increase but I’m not sure there’s been studies just yet.
It's just all SO GREAT isn't it?
And we also await the NY Civil case decision.
The rubes will have put liens on their trailers to support Dear Leader. He can't afford the appeal bonds as is.
We have comps there too. Portugal for example has been very successful in decriminalization. NJ actually had some moves to drug courts- ironically under Christie who also did bail reform before an Australian billionaire decided he could demagogue those things.
PNW- Seattle and Vancouver too- had these issues for as long as I can remember. A lot of it is probably the weather. But can't blame anyone for that so...
They have legal weed for sure. They were technically the first on that, as in the Netherlands it's not legal but "tolerated." Then you had Canada and kinda sorta Thailand. And here in the US we had state level.
But in Portugal they basically just send everyone on drug offenses outside of distribution to drug court where they get sentenced to rehab. That IMO is common sense.
At this point in the US, if Oregon is just fining people and letting them walk, that is much different as they're not getting help and truly what decriminalizing is all about. That said, the one guy is trying to blame legal weed which is a joke. And also, for the "small government" types it's pretty hilarious to watch them call for more laws, more jail and more government spending.
But when it's an AR-15 in a classroom...well we can't do anything about that because that would hurt muh freedoms, and also criminals don't follow the law. So let's not have more laws, unless they're about uteruses, weed, books, or drag queens.
The hypocrisy here--and of course there's hypocrisy, they're conservatives--is that normally they couldn't possibly care less about addicts and say good riddance when an addict ODs, yet they complain that legalizing pot allegedly leads to an increase in ODs (with OTHER drugs, which makes no sense).
The point was you cited an article but misquoted what the number represented. That's all.
I was grasping for small straws on that one. Legalized means easier access, which can result in a rise in other experimental use I suppose. I dont think many would dispute ODs are coming from the heavy hitters and not the tokers.
And I would take i the other way- legalizing Pot allows some that do it for anxiety and pain to do it legally rather than find or use additive prescription drugs.
Those that would have bought pot from dealers would have been more pressured into additive drugs- legalized pot dealers would rather you just keep toking
Funny cuz everything I’ve been saying has been proven true as time goes on.
Start prepping now to avoid a stay in a FEMA Camp.
But that may be an upgrade for you 🤣
The shit you spew just gets dumber by the day. Enjoy your trailer proud boy.
