Oregon decriminalization

[Billy Hoyle]

So my understanding is that the measure would require a fine and better pathways to treatment for those who are currently arrested for simple drug possession.

Again, I guess the issue is do you want to spend state resources punishing the users of the drugs, or do you want to get them treatment, and use your prison space for those who are distributing and dealing.

you don't send them to jail, you give them a way to clear their record through successful rehab and non-recidivism.

I am pro-decriminalization for possession. I think it make sense on many levels.

I will never be for legalization of the drugs being decriminalized by this statute.

....and what if they are users; do they get a free pass? Honest Judge I only gave my 20 or so buddies about a gram of heroin and 2 grams of coke each so we, including myself, could all party after doing 6 surgeries each last Friday.

Sleepy Joe's scary America already coming to fruition before he's even elected.

I see we are down to making fun of people who used to have a drug problem!

Wisconsin is one of 7 states where marijuana is completely illegal.  And when you ask yourself what Wisconsin has in common with the other 6, the answer is... nothing.

Maybe one of the silver linings of Covid is the Tavern League losing membership and becoming irrelevant.

It's past time to fully legalize it. Give states the option on whether to allow sales or not. But no longer illegal on a federal level.

Is the tavern league against weed being legal?

Anything that gives a whiff of keeping people out of bars is something they oppose.  Mask mandates, marijuana, and 9pm cessation of liquor sales in many municipalities are due to the Tavern League.

Not to mention the lax drunk driving laws.

Interesting. Knew they had their hands in a lot of things like the drink driving laws. Didn't know it went to masks weed and liquor sales. Thanks

They're the most powerful lobbying group in Madison. You can buy package beer at taverns after 9pm (at a ridiculous markup) but not stores because if them.

Vos is on record that he is for medical.

Fitz was the holdup, and hes now in Congress.  Hopefully the new majority leader is more open, but he is a conservative from Oostbug, the most Republican town in the state. Not holding out too much hope.

It really is amazing that states as conservative as South Dakota, Montana and Alaska have fully legalized marijuana, yet Wisconsin hasn't even taken the first step by allowing it for medical reasons.

some in the industry here in CO want it kept federally illegal because it keeps it favorable to small business. Once totally legal, the likes of Pfizer or others could research and mass produce a scientifically reliable, cheap product

It's cheap to make regardless. Where the money long-term will be, is in artisan breeds with unique characteristics.
