Oregon voters to decide on decriminalizing heroin, cocaine and LSD

BY MORGAN GSTALTER - 10/31/20 09:57 AM EDT

Oregon could become the first U.S. state to decriminalize possessing hard drugs like heroin, cocaine and LSD in a ballot measure during Tuesday’s election.

If voters pass Measure 110, users found in low-level possession of the substances would have the option of paying $100 fines or attending new, free addiction recovery centers instead of being arrested and facing jail time, The Associated Press reported.

The recovery centers would be funded by tax revenue from retail marijuana sales in the state, which was the country’s first to decriminalize marijuana possession.

Considering it's Oregon, the outcome is almost a foregone conclusion.

Will the voters of OR wise up ??
