    I mean it didn’t seem to work out for Portland; maybe in a perfect world but in a world full of stresses and homelessness it seems like it might hurt people who get addicted and exploited. But would be fine legalizing weed and shrooms.

      You’re right, it didn’t work for Portland - but things that were promised were never delivered. Other states took it as an invitation to send their problems out of state, which of course is unsustainable.

      Lots more factors that doomed it to never really have a chance.

      It’s like increasing taxes, it needs to be done everywhere otherwise the rest of it are leeching (aka the conservative areas shipping their homelesses to the west coast).

      But nah, you should not send addicts to jail, it’s stupid
