WHEN MEASURE 91 passed, I heard more than one prohibitionist sneer at the idea and ask, “What’s next, legalizing all the other drugs?” And certainly there is a small, albeit growing, movement to decriminalize all drugs, and to treat the use of them more as a public health issue than a criminal one. But this being ’Murica, how would that work? What would it look like? Sweet Jesus, I’m glad you asked, because that’s what this week’s column is about. Welcome to…
Cocabuzz: The Week in Cocaine! Yeah!
Hey everyone! Hard to believe that it’s been a year since Measure 92 passed, legalizing the sale, production, and use of cocaine here in Oregon! That measure was the greatest thing this state has ever done, like, ever! Right? Fuck yeah, it was! Man, I’m feeling really, really, REALLY good about it, and I hope you are too, because you’re awesome! This state is awesome! So chop up a line and let’s make this the best column EVER!
Let’s recap how it’s gone so far, which is pretty stellar!
• We all look great! Oregon no longer has an obesity problem, thanks to staying up all night and totally not even ever needing food. We’re getting a ton more stuff done, and everyone looks great while doing it. I wore these pants in high school, you guys!
