Three years after Oregon voters elected to decriminalize drugs, a new study has concluded that the first-in-the-nation law has not led to increased drug use or drug overdoses. The conclusion counters an increasingly common narrative that Oregon’s drug problem is unique in the country — and that decriminalization is to blame.
The article clearly says that there’s no good way to track overdoses. That data isn’t captured anywhere.
Thank God we have you to hold the NYU School Of Medicine accountable and tell them which statistics are meaningful.
Tell that to Portland Fire and Rescue Station #1, they appear to be KEENLY aware.
So the word of one guy who works at a single fire station and speculates about what’ll happen in the future is supposed to be treated as gospel for the entire state?
