Soros-backed measure yields tragic harvest of human misery
Oregon’s drug decriminalization Ballot Measure 110, passed overwhelmingly by the Democrat-dominated state’s voters in 2020, is proving to be a colossal failure – with drug overdoses skyrocketing as police are left with little leverage to punish offenders, according to a July 19 article in the left-biased Atlantic magazine.
“Early results of this reform effort, the first of its kind in any state, are now coming into view, and so far, they are not encouraging. … Oregon’s drug problems have not improved,” reports Atlantic writer Jim Hinch in the article headlined “What Happened When Oregon Decriminalized Hard Drugs.” “Last year, the state experienced one of the sharpest rises in overdose deaths in the nation and had one of the highest percentages of adults with a substance-use disorder. During one two-week period last month, three children under the age of 4 overdosed in Portland after ingesting fentanyl.”
