Just over three years since Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 110, elected officials want to repeal key elements, blaming the law for open drug use and soaring overdoses. But it’s their own hands-off approach that isn’t working, advocates say.
Is it the homeless encampments or the drug use that are the main problem for you? Or is it only a problem when they are combined?
Maybe depending on where you live, homeless encampments can be broken up (not making any statements now on whether that is right) without needing to attach drug charges into the situation.
Its foremost the drug issue that’s a problem for me. It hurts people and communities. I bring up homelessness because from what I’ve seen and what studies show, its a concentrated center of abuse. Its where people have the most need for intervention. It’s personal to me because I’ve it ruins communities.
