Decriminalization overdose deaths soar | Eastern NC Now

Decriminalization not working

ENCNow

In Oregon, only 1 percent of people who received citations for possessing hard drugs asked for treatment. Half showed up for court.

State health officials have reported 473 unintentional opioid overdose deaths from January to August 2021, the vast majority of those occurring after decriminalization took effect.

Either Oregon thought it would cut down on overdoses or maybe the plan was to get rid of the users by decriminalization.  Have to wonder what the real plan was.
