Democratic lawmakers in Oregon on Tuesday unveiled a sweeping new bill that would undo a key part of the state’s first-in-the-nation drug decriminalization law, a recognition that public opinion has soured on the measure amid rampant public drug use during the fentanyl crisis.
The bill would recriminalize the possession of small amounts of drugs as a low-level misdemeanor, enabling police to confiscate them and crack down on their use on sidewalks and in parks, its authors said. It also aims to make it easier to prosecute dealers, to access addiction treatment medication, and to obtain and keep housing without facing discrimination for using that medication.

Haha awesome way to avoid having to answer and also attacking someone for no good reason at the same time. Your comments really contribute.
Avoid having to answer? Are you proposing that “Do you think kids should be subjected to people shooting up drugs when playing outside or when going to school?” was a sincere question?
I think it’s kind of a loaded question yeah. But I live near a park that has kids playing along side people using. I’m just not sure they’re ready for that.
Just keep ignoring the existence of safe injection sites
Address?
