Fentanyl - Drug Overdose

Oregon Measure 110 repeal and drug decriminalization

Oregon was the first U.S. state to decriminalize possession of small amounts of hard drugs under Measure 110 (2020), but amid rising overdose deaths and visible drug use, the legislature voted in 2024 to recriminalize drug possession. Debate continues over whether criminal penalties or health-centered approaches best address the fentanyl crisis.

Where do you stand?

Should Oregon restore criminal penalties for personal drug possession?

  1. Keep drugs decriminalized and fully fund treatment, housing, and harm-reduction services instead of prosecution.
  2. Decriminalize possession but require mandatory health assessments and expand treatment access significantly.
  3. Allow diversion to treatment programs as the default, using criminal charges only as a last resort.
  4. Restore misdemeanor charges for possession while maintaining robust treatment funding alongside enforcement.
  5. Make drug possession a felony again and prioritize prosecution to deter use and protect public spaces.
