this sucks, man.
> Portland Police Chief Bob Day on Friday said he expects using police to address low-level drug possession will lead to a “high likelihood” that officers will have to use force in some arrests and that intoxicated people with significant medical conditions may die in custody.

Morgan Godvin led the #activism for #Oregon’s #Measure110, decriminalizing drug possession and redirecting funds to treatment and harm reduction.
However, challenges like the rise of fentanyl and ideological pushback led to its repeal, reflecting broader punitive attitudes towards drug users. Godvin stresses that incarceration worsens addiction, advocating for compassionate, treatment-centric solutions over punitive measures.

Oregon certainly has a problem but there’s no evidence that problem is Measure 110.

Indeed, the most recent overdose death data from the federal Centers for Disease Control shows that over the past 12 months ending in September, reported drug overdose deaths in Washington increased faster than they did in Oregon (38.27% to 32.85%) and that the absolute number overdose deaths in Washington (3,425) was more than double the number of overdose deaths in Oregon (1,650), far greater than the difference in populations. (The CDC provided two figures: reported overdose deaths and predicted overdose deaths. The latter number attempts to account for incomplete data. By that measure, Oregon’s one-year growth would slightly exceed Washington’s: 41.55% to 41.40%.)
The comparison is noteworthy because Washington never surrendered the law-enforcement tools Oregon is now seeking to reinstate. Yet its results were the same, if not worse.

Democratic and Republican state lawmakers have backed legislation that would once again make it a crime to possess small amounts of drugs.

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.

"But they both lost their jobs during Covid, and sitting around the house led to using, which led, eventually, to not having a house. 'It—was a lot,' she said, choking on the words." —Jack Holmes for Esquire
