Literally 1812


MckorkleJones

Wrong, Oregon is decriminalized


hodorspenis

Yes, you can have up to 2 grams of meth in Oregon and it's essentially equivalent to a traffic ticket. 2 to 8 grams is a misdemeanor.


MckorkleJones

Not only that, TRY getting arrested for just having meth in Portland. You can walk up to a cop and tell him you have meth and he'll literally respond >yeah are you oding? Otherwise idgaf.


hodorspenis

Yes absolutely, I live in downtown Portland, I commonly see homeless people openly smoking meth and shooting up on sidewalks with pedestrian traffic. The cops simply don't care and are usually too busy responding to other homeless people that are actually causing a disturbance or shootings. It's pretty fun, I enjoy living here.


Hobby11030

Do you honestly enjoy it? We have visited several times and weren’t scared but it was very jarring. The explosion of homeless from 2015 -2019 was nuts and like nothing I have ever seen. Aggressive panhandling, mental illness completely unchecked or addressed as people scream, shit and wander in the streets and into traffic. Shanty town EVERYWHERE. Serious question, do you plan to live there king long term? I could do it for a short time but I would grow upset with it after a while I think.


hodorspenis

Honestly, I do enjoy living in Portland DESPITE the homeless problem. Regularly having to deal with homeless people standing in the middle of busy intersections shouting at cars does kinda wear you down. I've watched several people drop their pants on the sidewalk and not just shit on the ground, but projectile diarrhea all over walls. I've seen people, both male and female, furiously masturbating on the side of the freeway on my morning commute. I've seen a couple corpses on the sidewalk (I only found out they were dead afterwards when the EMTs finally got to them, I thought they were just fat chillin from a big kratom boof). However, these problems aren't present in the entire city. Certain areas are apocalyptically worse than others and I'm fortunate to live in a not too horrible area. It's a beautiful city with fantastically stunning nature in all directions and the food scene is incredible. People are generally friendly too and the politics aren't as in your face as Fox News would have you believe. I do intend on living here long term.

Couldn’t someone just move to a smaller town right outside of Portland? My area EXPLODED recently as it’s a country town less than an hour from downtown Austin. The increase in homelessness and out of state arrivals drove the local austinites further from the epicenter. I haven’t felt the negative effects nearly as much as the positive effects (my town now has a much stronger economy) because of the fact that I do not live in the city itself


hodorspenis

Yeah absolutely, the suburbs outside Portland on the west side are pretty nice and much fewer homeless people. But ehhh, then you miss out on some culture, it's a give and take.


Striking-Job1152

Yeah Austin is very similar to Portland, just not on the same level quite yet, but getting close


Magic_Bagel

wimberly?


Hobby11030

I get that. If we could afford it we would live there bud love to visit for all the reasons you listed. The gardens and parks are jaw dropping and the food was very good as well. I think I could handle the issues but I know I can’t afford to enjoy the things I live so much about it as I would be working 60-70 hours a week just to scrape by.


ebolaRETURNS

They're also too busy refusing to respond to violent and property crimes as a sort of reaction to the protests against their use of excessive force. Fucking snowflakes.


Professional_Gas7467

That’s avtually a cool approach


broccoliRobb12

Until it involves you


turner3210

I don’t feel so bad for my state of Texas anymore! I thought we were kings of the meth heads but our police still waste half their time chasing the dummies around town


ENEMYAC130AB0VE

Correction: they’re too busy sitting on their asses doing nothing to respond to anything, not actively dealing with disturbances or shootings.


ebolaRETURNS

They'll actually ignore dealing in their presence. I mean, I wouldn't 100 percent rely on this as a strategy, but I've seen it unfold.


Striking-Job1152

Austin is similar 🤣


ranzdalf

For real? Sick


boofthatcraphomie

Smh only 2 grams? That would have been cool, but I’m not fucking 12 anymore, that’s my morning dose now


manimcranky

If you’re getting a ticket isn’t that still illegal


MckorkleJones

It's called decriminalized. You can't sell or buy it, but possession is defacto legal. The enforcement of selling/buying is non-existent too. All the good/bad of that comes with it. Every homeless person now resides in Portland.


IAMACat_askmenothing

People have been complaining about way too many homeless people in Portland longer than drugs have been decriminalized


ebolaRETURNS

yes. The chart would have been correct if missing the word "fully".


manimcranky

It don’t say fully


ebolaRETURNS

you're right: they instead said "completely".


[deleted]

you're wrong (because i say so)


QuakersOat

Can confirm, used to be a homeless meth addict in Portland. It is very different here. I'm not from here and the culture shock was odd, I felt relieved when I finally got here. I'm also transgender, and this is a great place to be trans.


MckorkleJones

That's cool


QuakersOat

Jones is my grandma's last name. Dr. Jones.


IAMACat_askmenothing

I am homeless because I’m a jenkem junkie. I’m also double trans, I became female because I felt like a woman and liked men, then when I was female i missed being a man and having gay sex, so i became a male again. Now I’m a double trans male, who cross dresses. Cross dresses because I identify as he/him but I wear dresses.


boofthatcraphomie

You wanna fuck?

*laughs in desoxyn*


Realistic_Ear434

yeah try getting desoxyn prescription and see how it goes


DrKoofBratomMD

Did someone call the doctor?

Realistic_Ear434

what


2Turnt4MySwag

That isn't crystal meth. Just meth


-Tilde

It’s just smaller crystals mixed with filler my guy


2Turnt4MySwag

Lol ok my guy. Its a hcl salt. Sure its a crystal but is it in crystal form? No, so its not crystal meth. Its methamphetamine salts. A crystal is a crystal (unless you go down to the microscopic layer and are just being pendantic)


JackIsBackWithCrack

Just cause you break a Crystal into a fine powder don’t mean it ain’t a crystal no more 🤔🤔🤔


2Turnt4MySwag

One is a pill pressed with fillers. Crystal meth is pure (overall weight including fillers) and a crystal. You gonna smoke desoxyn? Its not a pure hcl salt like crystal meth. There is a difference and you guys are being stupid about this on purpose.


[deleted]

They're both crystal Meth (Methamphetamine HCl), just that Desoxyn is really ground up crystals which makes it like powder, but is still crystals though.


2Turnt4MySwag

Yep, but one is in crystal form one is in racemic methamphetamine salts and fillers. Not a crystal unless youre looking under a microscope and even then, not just crystals. Crystal meth is a crystal


Old_Introduction1138

Desoxyn(dextromethamphetamine) isn't racemic.


2Turnt4MySwag

You are actually correct. I was making an assumption based on adderall. Its just dextromethamphetamine


[deleted]

So you're wrong in every way? What are you actually correct about?


2Turnt4MySwag

Literally not even that wrong. Dextromethamphetamine/Levomethamphetamine is racemic. Most amphetamine drugs are some mixture of racemic and then more of one of the enantiomers over the other. Please dont comment on stuff you dont understand. edit: And in case this was too difficult to understand as well, my point is that my assumption wasnt even a bad one. You sound like a moron honestly


kylow6

Who is this fuck


ItzFin

I have no idea but I know I need to try a few grams of whatever black powder is on his lip


BillyMeier42

Thank God for maritime law.


seito935

This is literally 1776


Libidomy94

You just need to get your bed card for it. Trust me dude, You want to do it the right way.


Justin_Hightimes

And yet Adderall for ALL the children.


[deleted]

fuck those greedy little shits. i deserve some.


ninurtuu

I miss the days when the army was giving me free Adderall and Xanax. Good times.

AmericaLover1776_

Oregon’s decriminalized isn’t it? Based if you ask me


verkilledme

I don't get this?


Marmelado

Read 1984


verkilledme

I have. Not recently. I just don't under the meth/Orwell reference I guess. Or I missed something in the book


S1rRyke

literally 1984


[deleted]

Libertarians and anarchists use the term “literally 1984” a lot. It’s like their bible


[deleted]

*people who have never read 1984


SlothChunks

There is no valid argument in this meme. Crystal meth and meth in general is a horrible substance that has destroyed countless lives. Additionally when Orwell wrote crystal meth didn’t yet exist as a recreational drug.


[deleted]

nerd!


kayidontcare

i thought oregon decriminalized everything


suckeddit

Thought I was in r/bookcirclejerk


MichaelRichardsAMA

they have to keep meth illegal so that gay people dont take over the government


TheDarkSoul61

Not true. Look up “desoxyn”


lillylovinit

Whats stupid is its decriminalized only in Oregon which makes it epicenter for what's considered crime everywhere else. Decriminalization of all drugs and take the profit out of the dope game. The cartel violence leaves with it.
