What Went Down In The Fourth Democratic Debate

Soooo … this idea that medical marijuana should be a go-to replacement for opioid pain relief is actually fairly controversial in the medical community.

Drug decriminalization was actually fairly successful in Portugal.

There are actually some surprising differences between the candidates on how to tackle the opioid epidemic. Both Yang and Buttigieg have proposed decriminalizing at least opioids for personal use, and apparently O’Rourke supports decriminalization as well. It’s kind of hard to imagine that only a few election cycles ago, proposing the decriminalization of marijuana would have been controversial, much less harder drugs.
