So that Oregon thing legalizing practically all drugs? Yeah, not working so much...
Overdose Deaths in Oregon SKYROCKET One Year After Decriminalizing Hard Drugs
Just over a year after the democrat-controlled Oregon legislature passed
measure 110 – a bill that decriminalized hard drugs – the number of overdoses in the state has predictably
skyrocketed.
And from the Oregon Health Authority
Summary of Findings:
• Mortality data for 2021 are not yet complete, as a result numbers for recent months
may change. Unintentional opioid overdose deaths in 2021 are higher than the
corresponding months of 2020 and 2019. Totals by year are as follows:
o 2019 unintentional opioid overdose deaths total 280.
o 2020 unintentional opioid overdose deaths currently total 472.
o 2021 unintentional opioid overdose deaths from January to October total 607.
• The number of opioid overdose visits to EDs and UCCs in the first quarter of 2022 are higher than previous years
Gee, Its a puzzlement
