If you're caught with a small possession amount of all drugs, including cocaine, meth, and heroin, you would get a citation. The citation has a phone number on it that directs you to get a health screening. Complete that and the $100 fine is waived.
Oregon voters passed Measure 110 in November 2020, which decriminalized the possession of all drugs, including cocaine, meth, and heroin. In February 2021, the measure went into effect.
About $31.4 million has already been given out to places like this, with a total of $302 million set aside for harm reduction, treatment, and other services over the next two years. That number may fluctuate every two years depending on marijuana tax sales. Advocates said the rest of that $302 million should be given out this year to organizations across the state.
“It would also help us to continue to keep the doors open here. This is a drop-in center where people can come and access the services,” Olive said.Data from the Oregon Health Authority provided to us by the Drug Policy Alliance shows more than 16,000 people have been helped so far. Of the nearly 11,000 people for whom specific data was reported, almost 60% used harm reduction services such as needle exchanges, and 15% sought help with housing needs. Less than 1% entered treatment.
