BUS DRUGS IN PORTLAND OREGON ‘DRUG DOME?’

September 9, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Bus drugs, train drugs, and airplane drugs are a voluntary thing. Traditionally. Score a bag, hide it away in the last place any normal person would ever look, and be on your way. But not in Portland? Because Portland is soooo different?

August 8, 2023 by David Gillaspie

June 11, 2023 by David Gillaspie
