updates: Oregon's drug decriminalization law, Measure 110, has been repealed after three years. The law aimed to remove criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of drugs and focus on reducing harm to users. However, the drug-overdose-death rate in Oregon increased by 43% in 2021 and continued to rise. Help-seeking did not increase significantly, with over 95% of people ignoring the $100 ticket for drug possession. The sponsors of the law misunderstood addiction and the political history of Oregon. The failure of Measure 110 may discourage other states from pursuing similar decriminalization policies. However, the law did highlight the underfunding of Oregon's addiction-treatment system, and new funding has been allocated for immediate needs. The future of successful drug-policy reform lies in a balanced approach that combines criminal justice and public health.
