BBC.com: Success or failure? #BC Canada's #drugDecriminalisation test faces scrutiny
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68621012

2020 elections marked a win for #DrugDecriminalisation, across red & blue states. Oregon's #Measure110 stood out, decriminalising personal possession, following Portugal's precedent.

Amidst a fentanyl-driven opioid crisis, critics call for a return to harsh policies. But #Oregon’s and #Portugal’s experiences reveal it's about inadequate support for #AddictionRecovery, not (de)criminalisation.

Instead of regression, aim for robust treatment.
