Shifting Attitudes Towards Drug Decriminalization
Public opinion is changing towards the decriminalization of drugs, with voters now expressing dissatisfaction with the unintended consequences of Measure 110. Figures like a local district attorney in Portland are calling for a tougher stance on public drug use, as people are not feeling safe with open drug use on the streets. This change in attitude is reflected in new polling data showing that 56% of Oregonians want action to address the issue. Consequently, Democratic lawmakers are acknowledging the shift in public sentiment and are considering revising the laws concerning public drug use.
