>How do you explain the failed drug decriminalization in Oregon?
Oh it will take a generation. Most people who are currently heavily addicted to fentanyl, meth, crack or even alcohol are lost causes. I think 10% of current addicts getting into recovery is extremely optimistic. The objective is to reduce addiction in future generations. At our current trajectory, the next generation will be more addicted than the current. The last 10 years after the crackdown have been an utter disaster with drug deaths doubling in that time and opioid deaths quadrupling.
