Oregon Becomes First U.S. State To Decriminalize Drug Possession

With the passage of Measure 110, Oregonians took America's most significant step toward ending the 50-year war on drugs.

Oregon became the first U.S. state to decriminalize possession of all illegal drugs after voters passed a ballot initiative in Tuesday’s election.

With the passage of Measure 110, Oregonians can no longer be criminally charged for possessing small amounts of illegal drugs, including heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine. The punishment for these felony and misdemeanor drug possession offenses will now be a simple $100 fine. The initiative also redirects some taxes raised through sales of legal marijuana to finance a new voluntary treatment system for drug users.

This marks the nation’s most significant development toward ending the 50-year war on drugs launched by President Richard Nixon. That catastrophic policy, disproportionately waged against Black, Latino and economically disadvantaged communities, swept generations of young men into a revolving-door criminal justice system punishing them for illegal drug possession or sales while drug usage rates held steady and overdose deaths skyrocketed.

Oregon’s initiative had broad support from groups like the NAACP Portland, local Black Lives Matter chapters, physicians groups and AFSCME, the government workers union whose membership includes corrections officers. It attracted no organized opposition.

Drug Policy Action, a national drug reform group, led the campaign to pass the initiative. The group spent nearly $4.5 million on the effort, while working with state and local activists and supporters.

Supporters of drug decriminalization said they hope the passage of Oregon’s Measure 110 encourages other states to pass similar ballot initiatives or legislation that will ease the war on drugs. They aim to copy the success of the marijuana legalization movement, which has spread quickly across the U.S. over the past decade.

Oregon has been a leader in liberalizing its drug laws in recent years. The state legalized marijuana in 2014 and reduced many drug penalties from felonies to misdemeanors in 2017.

The passage of Measure 110 is absolutely fantastic news.  Drug addiction has and always will be a public health issue at its core.  Making it a criminal issue is sinister and just plain wrong.  It is so cool to see revenues from Oregon's relatively new legal cannabis sector being put back into funding treatment centers to help people who might struggle with serious substance abuse & addiction.  That those without addiction issues can relatively safely possess personal amounts of any substance is the icing on the cake.

Way to fucking go Oregon! :sunny:

I just read in a news report that Measure 110 decriminalization applies to very small amounts of drugs. For mushrooms, the limit is 12 grams in possession to qualify for the $100 fine. I don't know what happens if 5 people live in a house, and they have 60g in a common stash... :shrug:

How many people on this site normally have fewer than 12 grams in possession? I'll bet that for most of us, it's much less than that ("yikes, I'm running out!!"  :begger: ) or several times that ("my tub is fruiting like crazy!!"  :mushroom:  :mushroom:  :mushroom:).

Thoughts?

Well done! Next up on the agenda should be allocating more resources from incarceration to treatment and prevention programs. Way to go Oregon!
