Oregon Measure 110 Drug Decriminalization
Decriminalized possession in 2020; recriminalized in 2024.
D · 11/24
1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)
Treat addiction as health, not crime.
2 · The realist counter-case
Critics blamed it for disorder.
3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats
PSU/medRxiv found no clear link to overdose deaths (fentanyl drove those); failure was the treatment hand-off; HB4002 recriminalized in 2024.
4 · Liberty check
Expands personal liberty; tests the limits of decriminalization without services.
5 · The real tradeoff
Decouple permission from the plumbing.
