Oregon Recriminalized Drugs. Let’s Talk.

In 2020, Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved Ballot Measure 110, making Oregon the first state in the U.S. to decriminalize possession of small amounts of all drugs while expanding addiction services and social supports. In 2024, Oregon lawmakers recriminalized drug possession and rolled back Measure 110 after an intense, well-funded disinformation campaign. We talked with Kassandra Frederique, Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance, about why drug criminalization won’t solve the problems we’re currently facing in our communities - and what can. The Drug Policy Alliance is building a world without the drug war where people who use drugs are supported, not punished. We’re building a world where drug policy is grounded in evidence, health, equity, and human rights. Join us: Watch our full video catalog at Facebook: Instagram: LinkedIn: TikTok: http
