I agree with the principle of what you’re saying, do drugs but only if you can contain yourself away from society. The problem with that idea is it’s only a mat

I agree with the principle of what you’re saying, do drugs but only if you can contain yourself away from society. The problem with that idea is it’s only a matter of when the dope fiend sells their acreage for more supply.

That's what police and nails are for. We just need to be comfortable incarcerating people who commit crimes. I cannot understand why this is such a controversial take in Oregon. Three years ago with measure 110 on the ballot, I made the same points I make today with the same people. Back then I was called a radical and today I'm called normal. People need to grow up. Just because a Republican says something somewhere does not mean you need to believe the exact opposite. The truth is that measure 110 is the result of an overly reactionary democrat base that lives on social media and basically became pro drug the moment Trump said something about jail during the Floyd riots.

  All right man let me tell u something. When I was playing GT 7 (racing) on a simulator, I used to either go hard gas, or hard break. It’s like a baby. Either they hold something with 100% strength or not at all. As you grow older, or better at racing, you learn to apply the right pressure to the gas and brake. Very rarely full on. The same goes for life. Your sort of “grabbing” with full strength. Instead, I suggest a more nuanced approach. When we are young we just go on or off. But in the area of dealing with “bad” people (we don’t know if they are or not), it’s best to use as little force as possible because you can really hurt people and make life worse. You also get a worse result because police are expensive. More importantly, each of these people is on drugs because they are in pain. When u hurt them and ignore them, your cutting off an important sense in our communities that’s telling us something is wrong. It’s hard for us to know because we adapted. But for them, they may be more sensitive and can’t handle the suffering so they took drugs. Society has so many issues we don’t even know. We need to ask God or whoever for wisdom to understand the issue. But going full “brake” when these guys are puffing drugs is overkill and it’s not as effective.
