I bet the drug cartels and DEA will fight that to the death!!
Still,it will be interesting to see how those in law enforcement react to this passing...its not like they can really act upset...if this is the will of the people, who are they to think their opinion matters more?!
"Possession of larger amounts of drugs — for example, 40 or more Oxycodone pills or 2 grams or more of cocaine, methamphetamine, or heroin — is currently a felony. Measure 110 reduces these offenses to misdemeanors.
If Measure 110 passes, the state could still use 11 factors that constitute evidence of a commercial drug offense to charge someone in possession of drugs with a felony.
Those factors include also having stolen property or weapons, and indications a person is selling drugs, like having more than $300 of cash and baggies."
It reduces convictions for drug possession by close to 90 percent
Sounds good.
So, you take the side of the drug cartels and the criminals? Geez!
Keeping these laws in place is whats keeping these criminals in business for petes sake!
I side with first time offenders caught with drugs giving them rehab, 2nd offense 10 years hard labor, 3rd offense death penalty. Drug Dealers, 10 years hard labor 2nd offense death penalty
Their choice. Probably going to have some more Democratic voters OD and take themselves out of the voting pool. I'm fine with legalizing it-so long as we don't waste money on treatment centers. If you choose to smoke your brain, that's on you.

You do realize, that most small time drug dealers, are just addicts themselves, selling drugs to feed their own addiction...right?
Personally, I think having laws on using and possessing 'substances' to be very medieval and outdated. If the concern is truly for public health and safety, there are FAR worse LEGAL substances that should be targeted first, like alcohol, cigarettes, sugar.
Problem is Heroin is extremely addictive life long struggle even for people who have been off it for years. Locking people up for years not a solution.

Whats really strange about that...the drug prescribed to help people STAY OFF heroin...(Suboxone) is very tightly controlled!! LOL
Now, why on earth would they 'restrict' a drug that helps people STAY OFF a much deadlier drug?!!! (this suggests to me, they really are not interested in seeing people get clean).
