But in 2023, 56 percent of voters believed it should be repealed as the state's largest city, Portland, saw a surge in overdoses. The number of people who died of overdoses jumped from 610 in 2019 to nearly 1200 in 2022, according to KOIN 6 News.Drugoverdose deaths across the country have risen at a prodigious rate, jumping from 52,404 in 2015 to 107,941 in 2022, according to data from the National Institute for Drug Abuse.
While some analysts argue the decriminalization of hard drugs like heroin can drive revenue that can be used for education and rehabilitation programs, others say the costs of decriminalization far outweigh the benefits.
Widespread availability of illicit drugs is "the mother of use," former United States Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Joseph A. Califano Jr. argued in a U.K. National Institute of Health head to head.
Califano referencedSwitzerland's "needle park," a government initiative meant to restrict heroin users to a small areA.The project "turned into a grotesque tourist attraction of 20,000 addicts and had to be closed before it infected the entire city of Zurich."
He also noted thatItaly, which decriminalized possession of small doses of drugs like heroin, has one of the highest rates of heroin addiction in Europe. In addition to legalizing pot and making it easier for citizens to use needles, Walz green-lit a Psychedelic Medicine
Task Force to study the effects of psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA and LSD.
"The task force is mandated to explore both the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics and the legal pathways by which Minnesota's government can help patients successfully navigate the labyrinth of federal laws and regulations in order to get access to these potential medicines," Kurtis Hanna, a drug law reform lobbyist, told Marijuana Moment.
The bill calls for $338,000 of appropriations in 2024 and another $171,000 to fund the task force in 2025. It calls for "statutory changes necessary for the legalization of psychedelic medicine" and "state and local regulation of psychedelic medicine."
Walz signing the bill cleared the way for other leaders in his state to follow suit. In June 2023, Minneapolis' Democratic mayor Jacob Frey ordered law enforcement to deprioritize the use of city resources to enforce laws that criminalize buying psychedelics.
Frey's executive order stated "that the investigation and arrest of persons for planting, cultivating, purchasing, transporting, distributing, engaging in practices with, or possessing Entheogenic Plants or plant compounds which are on the federal Schedule 1 list shall be the lowest law enforcement priority for the City of Minneapolis."
The psychedelics task force will deliver a final report to the state with findings and recommendations by January 1, 2025, according to the bill. Advocates believe that these steps are clearing a path for the legalization of all psychedelic substances in MinnesotA."If-and hopefully when-I'm re-elected and this task force gives their final report..my hope is to bring that legislation in that session," Democratic State Rep. Andy Smith told Marijuana Movement.
(Ask yourself this: What did the US and Corporations do immediately when the Soviet Union fell? They flooded the country with Oligarchs to steal all their industry, jobs, etc.and flooded the country with alcohol, tons and tons of alcohol. There were more alcoholics in Russia for years and years, until Putin took over, they still have programs in place to reduce drinking. All the women left for foreign countries or became hookers.The west destroyed Russia with alcohol, the West politicians will destroy America with drugs, hence why they won't stop fentanyl from flooding in)
