Right, like in Oregon they recently decriminalized "personal amounts" of all drugs. Crack, heroin, meth, fentanyl, etc. Whatever you want...it's now just a misdemeanor offense like a parking ticket as long as you're under some limit. So personal amounts are "ok," but how does one obtain a "personal" amount from someone else unless they have more than a personal amount? In other words, on one hand it's illegal to deal the drugs, but after you've obtained them illegally it's ok. That logic doesn't square.

> Just because small amounts are decriminalized, it doesn't apply when a person has more than is specified under the law.

> "Possession of larger amounts of drugs, manufacturing and distribution are still crimes," Fox said.
