MY state is being nonsensical on this one, they don't like the results of measure 110, they say it's a failed experiment, but the drug war too is a failed experiment. So this failed, so let's return to the solution from before that was failing too, make it make sense.
- NegativeLatency 3y agoYeah it’s really frustrating, and more so because measure 110 never got properly funded or rolled out in a good way. >Allen also acknowledged that, nearly two years after Measure 110 passed, the availability of addiction treatment, including residential treatment beds and medication-assisted treatment for people with opioid use disorder, is “inconsistent” across Oregon’s counties. https://www.opb.org/article/2022/09/20/oregon-measure-110-drug-decriminalization-substance-abuse-treatment/ https://www.opb.org/article/2022/09/20/oregon-measure-110-dr...
