Left-wing Oregon decriminalized drugs and the results are predictably catastrophic.
In 2020, 58 percent of Oregon voters approved a ballot measure that decriminalized the hardest of hard drugs, including cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, and meth. If you are caught holding a small amount of these drugs, the only punishment is a $100 ticket. Put another way, holding and doing hard drugs in Oregon is the equivalent of a busted taillight.
“The streets of downtown Portland, Oregon, resemble an open-air drug market,” adds Fox News. Hard drug use is “rampant and often visible on city streets. Portland police officers drive by homeless addicts buying and using.” Stigmas are important. Stigmas work. Once you remove the stigma from something, people begin to believe it’s not too bad or too dangerous.
