Re-criminalizing Drugs

Has there been any good decision made by a leftist government in the past twenty or so years?

• The Oregon House passed bill 4002 last week that will once again make the possession of hard drugs a crime, reversing what many called an ill-advised decision in 2020 to decriminalize possession of small amounts of drugs. That decision was carried out under a ballot initiative approved by Oregon voters. 

  The reversal of course was spurred by a surge in deaths from opioids, including those of children, which has been fueled in part by the proliferation of fentanyl, the AP reports.
  

After "decriminalization," overdose deaths jumped by 1,300% (84 to over 1,100). 

Usually we'd call this a good start on reducing the addict population. But the number of innocent kids overdosing on mommy or daddy's stash also skyrocketed and no one was being held accountable, even as they passed all sorts of laws about storing guns, ammo and making it impossible for regular folks to buy a self-defense firearm to protect themselves from burglars and robbers out to score their next fix.
