Oregon On The Record talked about how Measure 110 funds are being misspent on law enforcement gadgets instead of drug treatment programs.

This is a complete strawman, no one is denying that Oregon's Measure110 failed. What's being discussed is WHY it failed, you seem to think that was because there wasn't strict enough enforcement & I think it's because of improper funding & implementation

#measure110 #oregon there really was effectively no plan that could actually work attached to it. so this became a lesson about combating the Drug crisis for harm reduction advocates like myself, which is that pure intentions aren't enough and that to actually do it right requires much more

rhetroically it comes up a lot like "We don't want them to be able to just go down to the corner pharmacy and get high." but it's like all things considered that would be a much better alternative than what's happening instead.

Martha would have been informed by her pharmacist recondmnded dosage information and everything. She'd still be with us. #women #feminist #feminism #measure110

which ironically has been used as the example about why we shouildn't legalize. "What if they could just go to the pharmacy and get it." what if indeed. If they could, the pharmacist would be ethically obligated to give them a pharmacy consul things would be clearly labeled. (cont) #measure110

would wish for their child to use drugs, but, if they were going to, and they could not be convinced not to, no parent would wish for their child to have to consort with criminals to obtain those drugs. martha had no idea what she was taking, if it had been from a pharmacy #measure110 (Cont)

Also when considering the reality of prohibition I'd like to ask you to consider Martha's story. athough, this one is about MDMA the same lessons could be applied to any drug. #Politics #Political #measure110 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzui...

No parent, in their right mind... (cont)

the truth about heroin is a lot like the truth about fentanyl, it hasn't changed much, all that really has is the synthetic is much stronger and much more dangerous. #heroin #opoids #oregon #measure110

I fail to see how if measure 110 was failing there's any solution in returning to the very selfsame policies that failed us in the past. #measure110 it's a conservative reaction, but, it's dumb. it's based on an inability to remember prohibition was failing. #oregon

Yup. Rampant ubiquitous open drug use and open air markets in our iconic downtown #portland and across the state changed people’s minds. But it’s worth noting the original measure was more about treatment than just simply decriminalizing drugs. It did not work.
