Oregon ends drug decriminalization experiment Sunday
Oregon's first in nation drug decriminalization ends Sunday as possessing small amounts of hard drugs becomes a crime again. The law, passed by Democrats and opposed by Republicans, reclassifies personal use as a misdemeanor with up to six months in jail and directs cannabis tax revenue to treatment, while counties may build diversion programs. Backers argue treatment works better than jail, but critics fear a patchwork system and uneven access across 36 counties. Oregon Criminal Justice Commission will disperse over $20 million in deflection grants next year.
