Are the voters in blue areas beginning to experience buyer’s remorse?
As seen in a new report by Politico, Oregon’s legislature this month voted (in a move expected to receive Democratic Governor Tina Kotek’s signature) to kill a three-year-old law decriminalizing drug possession for personal use. Once the new plan goes into effect, police will once more be authorized to arrest individuals caught in possession of drugs.
The decriminalization comes as overdose deaths in the state have soared since enforcement against drug possession was relaxed back in 2021.
