@HoratiusOfRome They were literally telling the propagandist that the government confiscated their belongings or that they couldn't get an id. But he just continued with his "drugs bad" narrative and you seem to fall for it. Use your brains for once please.

"Decriminalizing" doesn't mean that everything is legal AT ALL. The entire premise of the video is wrong. Besides - Portland has always been shit. To even bring up homeless people when it comes to drugs is ridiculous. Do you really think homeless people uphold the gigantic, clandestine global supply chains?

@xdush You know absolutely nothing about heroin or cocaine or any other psychoactive substance. You're regurgitating the most idiotic parts of the propaganda you were fed as a little child. As far as common drugs are concerned, alcohol is very dangerous. The behavioral intoxication is way more extreme than under heroin and cocaine, it's quite common to make people dangerously aggressive. Alcohol is still positive on balance: that's why it's a popular drug. But it's less pleasant, useful in fewer situations and has much greater downsides than many illegal drugs.

@Orangeyaglad772 What you wish to believe is what you believed till childhood, because you've been fed anti drug propaganda since you were a little child. Were all cities in the world "zombie towns" a hundred years ago before all of those prohibitions existed?

No one died like that back when heroin was legally available. People use risky administration routes, because it saves money. People are unsure about dosages, because the opioids are illegal. And people even get poisoned with the wrong substances, because nearly all commonly known drugs are illegal.

Nothing is getting "brought back" from anywhere. They simply did not die.

@Draggys I can't believe you're actually stupid enough to believe this bullshit. Do you really think people produce hundreds of tons of illegal drugs and transport them secretly all over the world just to sell to homeless people? That is really the border case for extreme credulity. No, most drug users are middle class or rich people. And they're doing completely fine. Videos such as this serve to 1) continue the anti-drug propaganda and 2) screw over homeless people. The homeless people in the video told him that they had their stuff confiscated by the government or they were on the street, because they couldn't get an id. And he just completely ignored it in favour of the drugs narrative.

No drugs at all were legalized. The title of the video is a lie. And that you fall for the dumbass propaganda even though the propagandist completely ignores what the homeless people are telling him is hilarious.

@notagamerunofficial What's the point of having electronics? Such a profoundly idiotic question can only be the result of lifelong indoctrination.

Orders of magnitude more of your taxes go into suppressing the production and trade of illegal drugs.

Do you actually believe that criminals produce and transport illegal drugs worldwide at great risk to their lives and liberty just to supply some hobos? That is the anti-drug narrative here and that's ridiculous in the highest degree.

Or she realized in what kind of "documentary" she is.

This is a blunt propaganda piece, literally the opposite of "unfiltered". Firstly the title is a LIE. Drugs aren't legal in Portland. Decriminalization is not legalization. Secondly "legalizing" drugs in one city only is hardly meaningful, because you'd have to get the production into the city. Thirldy the propagandist completely ignores what the homeless people are telling him about their real problems and simply inserts his anti-drug talking points. Fourthly a video supposedly about drug legalization only focuses on homeless people. What about the super majority of drug users that aren't homeless? This is a totally transparent propaganda piece that seeks to continue the war on drugs and screw over the homeless, ignoring their actual concerns.

@thomashauer6804 >Both ways failed No, because there is no legalization. And many of the drugs that are illegal now have been used to great benefit for hundreds or thousands of years. >no divided bullshit no politics I think your politics detector is broken. The insertion of the propagandist's politics couldn't be any more heavy handed. He literally ignores what the homeless people are telling him completely and continue with his anti drug talk.

The only reason ANYONE dies to fentanyl is prohibition. No one died from opioids in that way when heroin was available in any pharmacy. The only reason anyone is even taking fentanyl recreationally is because heroin is illegal.

@animeloveer97 Pretty much all drugs are illegal in Portland as well. "Decriminalization" doesn't mean legalization. Also wtf would it mean to legalize a substance in one city only? There would first have to be labs / farms to produce those drugs in Portland for that to be of any significance.

In what sense are magic truffles "soft" and "heroin" hard?

@snicole2811 In other countries, pretty much everything is illegal, just like in the USA. That's partly because the movement to make pretty much everything illegal came at the same time as the USA became a world power.

@MelvinJ64 Propaganda has melted your brain to the degree that you didn't even notice that there was ZERO indication of that 22yo being their because of drugs. How fucking stupid do you have to be to believe the fairy tale that all of those criminals worldwide risk their lives and liberty producing and transporting hundreds of tons of illegal drugs... just to sell it to homeless people? The vast, vast majority of drug users are successful middle class and rich people.

The video is deeply dishonest, starting from the title. Nothing was legalized in Portland. Decriminalization is not legalization. He totally ignored what the homeless people were telling him to push his anti-drug propaganda. Homeless people are a negligible minority of drug users.

The one guy had his belongings confiscated or destroyed. How would handling illegal drugs being severely punished help there? The lady was maliciously treated due to bigotry and couldn't get an ID. How would severe punishments for having illegal drugs help? Why do we even bring up homeless people when it comes to drug legalization? Do you really think criminals produce and transport hundreds of tons of illegal substances at great risk for themselves just to supply some hobos? No. Nearly all drug users are middle class or rich people.
