I’ve had this debate on Nostr before, someone trying to use Portland as an argument against libertarianism. I said that it was a horrible example bc it’s a small microcosm within the greater status quo of drugs being illegal. There’s really nothing libertarian or free market about drug decriminalization in Portland. The overdoses that happen are still a result of drugs being illegal more broadly. In fact, I’m pretty sure the government actually incentivizes drug addicts and homeless people to go there.
