Measure 110, which will decriminalize personal possession of small amounts of drugs, making it a violation much like a traffic ticket, becomes law on Monday. Here's the details of what it does: Ballot Measure 110 does not make possession of drugs legal. It just decriminalizes personal possession of illegal drugs. It reclassifies possession of small amounts of drugs as a civil violation, like a traffic offense. The penalty becomes a $100 fine, which a person can avoid by agreeing to participate in a health assessment. The measure makes it a non-criminal violation, like a traffic ticket, to possess the following: • Less than 1 gram of heroin • Less than 1 gram, or less than 5 pills, of MDMA • Less than 2 grams of methamphetamine • Less than 40 units of LSD • Less than 12 grams of psilocybin • Less than 40 units of methadone • Less than 40 pills of oxycodone • Less than 2 grams of cocaine The measure also reduces from a felony to a misdemeanor simple possession of substances containing: • 1 to 3 grams of heroin • 1 to 4 grams of MDMA • 2 to 8 grams of methamphetamine • 2 to 8 grams of cocaine Selling, distributing and manufacturing these drugs remains illegal -- and if convicted, you will go to jail. The measure, which passed with more than 58% voter approval, also funds health assessments, addiction treatment, harm-reduction efforts and other services for people with addiction disorders, OPB reports. Funding those programs will come through the reallocation of tens of millions of dollars generated by Oregon’s cannabis tax. The measure also is expected to generate savings in the criminal justice system because of fewer drug arrests, prosecutions and incarcerations. Those savings would be redirected into a new state fund for treatment and other services. View Quote It neither breaks my bones nor picks my pocket....or something. I guess libertarians (full disclosure, I'm one of those people) have been dreaming of this for decades. Now, we have an experiment at the state level to see how it plays out. I suspect the next step will be state drug stores (OR already has state liquor stores) that will sell and tax it. I don't care what people do to themselves if it doesn't impact someone else. Too bad that so many users end up on the public payroll. I don't know if these quantities are a lot or a little for a user, but...let the games begin. |

Good, now cut 100% of all welfare and UE payments if you get caught with ANY drug that would preclude you from employment if a drug test is required.

Good, I hope tons of freeloading leftist voters move and consolidate there.

Demand will increase yet the suppliers run the risk of prison for getting the product to the user. Sounds like someone needs to start up a delivery service on electric kick scooters. Here's 1.9 grams of coke!

I am unfamiliar with dosages for those drugs. How much are those limits? Is that like enough for someone to have fun by themselves? Enough for a small party? Not interested in drugs myself, just curious is these are the typical amounts people have.

Currently living in Oregon. Fuck this place.
Take a note of crimes like theft/burglary, assault, and others now so we can compare them a year from today. Also, did I make it in before someone said “I’ll have a coke”? |

The drugs don’t break your leg or pick your pocket. It’s the insane homeless hepatitis c infected drug addict that does.
Watch property crime and robbery/assault increase sharply. |

I've struggled with alcoholism.
I feel for addicts and I understand the pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization you feel when you cannot stop. I am unconvinced that this is a good idea. I hope I'm proven wrong as I watch from a distance. I remember Limbaugh years ago discussing: Defining Deviancy Down. This feels like normalizing deviant behavior, but I sure cannot cast the first stone. Good luck to those behind the lines. |

12 grams of shrooms will mess you up pretty good. 6 is about the max from my remembery of the 80s.
40 LSD does sound like a shitload, but I don't know what they mean by unit. I have no experience with that chemical. |

Why can't we each pick and choose the things we'd like decriminalized? Don't need the heroin, but I'd like do be able to drive 110 on the highway.

Quoted: you have a killdozer avatar, but you're complaining about more freedom. does not compute View Quote It's debatable whether drug use = freedom. Sobriety, or at least some semblance of it most of the time, is I think a very modest form of taxation we place on fellow citizens to at least not be a deadweight on the rest of us. |

Now legalize prostitution and OR will literally be the place for "Hookers and Blow"

Abolition fails every time it has been tried and the war on drugs has been an epic failure so I don't hate the idea.
However, this is probably California or Washington so I'm sure it will be a huge cluster fuck. |

The prison and jail population in Oregon will decrease noticeably. As a classical liberal, I don't see why drugs should be illegal to any degree.
If you want the freedom to own guns, you should be for everyone's freedom in general. We don't get to pick and choose like selfish brats. |

The people that would move their just for hard drugs are dirtbags. This is related to marijuana legalization in that the states that legalized first had both tourism dollars, and armies of dirtbags moving to them
Frankly I think the rest of the states need to institute a new drug diversion program of exiling people there. Hey you got caught with heroin, you go to prison or you take this $500 and get on the Greyhound/airplane. Don't get caught in Ohio for 4 years. |

Sure we have state liquor but all the weed store are private enterprises. |

Legalization = more usage = more ODs = less narcan available = more OD deaths = remaining population is better off

States should use this as an example to introduce that into other areas. SBR’s/SBS’s? Suppressors? And then use State personnel and Administration, State resources to hinder every attempt by non-State agency incursions against State law(s) and regulation(s).
