Canada’s government has announced that it will allow the province of British Columbia to try a three-year experiment in decriminalizing possession of small amounts of drugs, hoping it will help stem a record number of overdose deaths by easing a fear of arrest by those who need help.

The policy approved by federal officials doesn’t legalize the substances, but Canadians in the Pacific coast province who possess up to 2.5g of illicit drugs for personal use will not be arrested or charged.
The three-year exemption effective 31 January will apply to drug users 18 and over and include opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA, also known as ecstasy.

Haven't been to Vancouver, but lived in Seattle.

Vancouver was on a downslide back then, while Seattle was still relatively sane.

What I mean is, Portugal is completely different from the U.S., in terms of size, culture, government and many other things. Just because something works in one country doesn't mean it could work anywhere else.

I think it's a shame that the supposedly first-world, predominately-white countries like Canada and the U.S. have such lax and permissive laws regarding drugs, yet third-world, non-white countries make drug use/possession a capitol offense. Globalist vampires like Soros have long pushed for drug reform because they want to weaken society to the point where they can be taken over and molded into communist dystopias. These are the same bastards who tamper with our food supply and inject us with strange "vaccines".

Legalized/decriminalized drugs is a globalist scam that does no favors for the health and well-being of the general public.

Personally, all drugs should be decriminalised and pharmacies should sell equivalent drugs to those daft enough to use drugs. It means the tax payer gets sales tax revenue and crime will fall because the prices will be a fraction. Drug cartels will shrink and hopefully fade away.

Drugs are illegal because they are a big problem. They are not a problem... because they're illegal.
As I stated before, rigid libertarian ideological dogma results in mental gymnastic idiocy like 'drug addicts and those who manufacture and distribute the drugs will just fade away' if only drugs were free. If only there was no penalty or cost for being a useless piece of fucking shit burden on society.

Our war on drugs has completely failed, trying something else is the natural way to deal with that. Not coming up with excuses to double down on failure.
In other words the "they are small and different" argument is like saying
We can't replace total failure with that which MIGHT not work

Before they can Build-Back-Better, they have to level everything that is.

Look at the States. In the space of ten years, a majority of states legalized marijuana and derivatives; and in that same time, demonstrable public insanity went off the scale. Cowinkydink?

I'm not saying pot made them go nuts. Although it's not going to help someone who IS going nuts. The general attitude now, is, party-hardy; let it all hang out. And what's come of that is Mattias Desmet's Mass Formation Psychosis. Trump Derangement Syndrome was the initial demonstration of MFP; once Trump was made irrelevant, the hatred turned to the Anti-Vaxx crowd. Who of course are making everyone sick.

I have never taken drugs, other than a couple of alcoholic drinks on rare occasions, but I have been a committed teetotaller for about 50 years now...never had marijuana in my life. I cannot understand why all drugs are not legal because a drugged population is so much easier to control. Drugs supplied by the government rather than drug sellers could very quietly have some nice little additives in them for even more control. Make them legal, someone wants to take them then that is Darwinism at work and if they overdose then as far as I am concerned that's a plus for society. No medical services and no ambulances should be available for those who choose to take drugs and they overdose, whether they are made legal or remain illegal.

Prohibition only works if it dramatically limits access. Otherwise it just makes things worse by
Funding gangs and cartels
Pushing addicts into the fringes while alcohol users and smokers denounce drugs as they use them in public.

Most, if not all, drug addicts are beyond hope. I used to believe everyone was worth saving, but now I see it from a different perspective. Druggies tend to be weak-minded, and vote for politicians and policies that run counter to a moral, productive society. Legalizing drugs would be sending a message to them that they are actually wanted and valued. If these people are so truly defeated as human beings that they need to destroy themselves with various poisons, then I'm afraid there's not much anyone can do to stop them. It's better to just let them go instead of trying to hold onto them and risk being pulled under with them. But at the same time, we should be doing more to keep those who aren't doing drugs from taking up the habit, especially children.

Actually tobacco kills more people annually than all the other drugs combined and alcohol is associated with a great deal of crime, much of it violent.

Anyway the point you seem to skip over is that drug laws don't work. Never have. Never will. Doubling down with disasters like mandatory minimums doesn't work. Illegal drugs cause more deaths than they did before we "got tough on drugs" If these laws worked that number would have decreased not increased. You might say that Portugal is a different culture. But their OD's decreased compared to themselves while ours exploded compared to ourselves. They succeeded within their culture and we failed within ours. There is literally no intellectual justification for continuing to do what we are doing. If you ever find one please come back with it, in place of grade school insults.
But you can always lead with emotion and call people children instead. Your call.

People with these judgmental unchristian viewpoints never look at it that way. Some even denounce the evil drug user while on their 4th beer and 8th cigarette for the evening.
There is also a difference worth noting between legalization and decriminalization. speaking of the Constitution do you feel that the feds have any say over drug policy within the states.

Maybe lack of empathy is a vice? If we really didn't take care of smokers , drinkers and drug users tens of thousands would be out of work in healthcare.
More importantly we would lose what collective soul we have left as a country

Why? Because you say things so authoritarian it smacks of dictatorship and cruelty. Who are you to say people with drug addiction should be refused medical care? Wtf, lady.

Thank you, rare knowledge these days with the feds still trying to control how pot is bought and sold within the statesYeah well people LIKE the Constitution except the parts they don't like and the parts they haven't read as in most of it.

Yes I don't approve of the 16th (income tax) or the 17th (election of Senators by the public instead of the state legislators) but I accept the Constitution in toto and I follow the Founders. I am not a conservative, I'm a constitutionalist. I don't even know what a conservative is anymore ffs.


I see people on this forum say they want small govt but their posts say otherwise. No, what they want is control. They're just as bad as the nuts on the left.

The Left is rotten to the core but there's rot on the right too.

Both sides want control. Few accept the BOR's for the package deal it was meant to be. I abhor the 16th and 17 but would seek to repeal them not ignore them. My veiws are much the same as I see that where we follow the Constitution things go better than where we don't.
I often describe my views by saying I can piss off dems and rebubs in a single sentence:
I fully support the right of a gay couple to shoot their AR 15's in the morning, get married in the afternoon and get high that night.

And there's your true colors! You have opinion only based views and can't handle it emotionally when someone argues against that using reason/fact/examples like I did in this thread and then you revert to this low brow bullshit. You'd do best in an echo chamber where everyone agreed with you all the time and your fragile ego is never challenged.

Meaningless statements like 'the war on drugs is a failure', and Portugal keeping their junkies alive with narcan is a great model' and 'interveinous drug use is the same thing as diabetes', aren't 'factual arguments' of anything in any universe outside of your own mind. A viewpoint rooted in fantasy, stupidity and ignorance. Not to mention that Canada doesn't fall under the US Constitution.
Your head is so far up your own ass in so many ways I can't be bothered with your absurd idiocy. Then you claim victory.
Fuck right off. Clown.

Actually some of those arguments are what we call evidence to back up our statements in the rational world of debate. Rather than your whine ass crying because those arguments don't match your archaic beliefs.
Portugal has decreased OD's while our exploded and it's not all narcan, it is recognition of addiction as a disease, a medical problem. That's called real world evidence of success ( on their part ) and failure on ours. Unless you think the goal of drug laws is to make things worse?
Why not find some examples of national hard core drug laws that have worked, decreasing the problem? I'll wait.
