Remember when Oregonians overwhelmingly passed the Measure 110 bill... it decriminalized drug possessions by only making it a Class E violation (max fine of $100) and establishing a drug addiction treatment and recovery program funded in part by the state's marijuana tax revenue and state prison savings.
Well... guess it didn't work like the Leftie/Demmie 'Defund the Police' idea...
"Between 2020 and 2022, overdose deaths increased by 75 percent, compared to only 18 percent nationally. In Oregon, opioid-involved overdoses increased by 101 percent, accounting for more than 70 percent of overdose deaths in 2022. Likewise, meth-involved overdoses increased by 112 percent, accounting for 55 percent of overdose deaths in 2022... Violent crime also increased by 17 percent in Oregon since Measure 110 passed, despite decreasing nationally. AND rampant rise in public drug use... - Newsweek
Now, both GOP and Dem leaders are coming out with new bill to change Measure 110 and re-criminalized drug possession... however, lots of Lefties/Demmies say it's too soon. Should just watch and see if the correlation is truly there :idiot2: So, they want to wait to see if more and more people are overdosing the next few more years before saying the bill was a POS bill...
A cousin of mine told me that SF is just as bad with people on the streets shooting up drug, Seattle is the same and so is Portland. He says that you can tell the difference at dusk.. it's like the drug vampires come out at night.
