Oregon Sees Massive Spike in Overdoses One Year After Decriminalizing Hard Drugs

A year since a ballot measure in Oregon decriminalized the use of hard drugs, the state’s overdose rate has skyrocketed , leaving behind a larger drug problem and no solutions.

Measure 110, which came into effect in February 2021, was designed to provide relief to drug users looking to break their substance abuse by making it easier to seek help without incurring severe legal penalties. For those found in possession of substances like heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and more, measure 110 created a maximum $100 fine and removed the felony or misdemeanour charges in most cases. It also allocated $300 million for public health resources intended to help substance users break their addictions.

At the time of the measure’s implementation, Oregon was on the edge of experimental policies designed to address the country’s drug problem. Many states across the US, though skeptical, looked with curiosity at Oregon’s bold strategy.

But just one year later, it’s become increasingly clear the law has been nothing short of tragic. Shemia Fagan, Oregon’s Secretary of State, told Blaze News the unintended consequences have only deepened the problem.

“When the voters of Oregon passed Measure 110, we did so because it was a change of policy in Oregon to improve the lives of people, to improve our communities, and in the years since, we haven’t seen that play out. Instead, in many communities in Oregon, we’ve seen the problem with drug addiction get worse,” Fagan said.

The problem is worse in some areas than others, mainly taking a toll on the western, more populated area of the state. Grants Pass, a small town in Josephine County, has seen a 700 percent jump in overdoses and a 120 percent increase in deaths, according to the area’s state representative, Lily Morgan.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down

Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.

For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.

Thank you and God bless!
