Hard-drug decriminalization, a longtime project of George Soros and other progressives, has been a disaster in Oregon, the first state to try widespread decriminalization. In 2020, Soros’s decriminalization-advocacy outfit, the Drug Policy Alliance, spent $6 million to cajole Oregon voters into decriminalizing possession of small amounts of fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine, making Oregon the first state to do so.
The results have not been pretty. Overdose fatalities were increasing even before the enactment of Measure 110, the drug-decriminalization law, and have surged since. Between June and August 2023, ten Portland minors overdosed on hard drugs, mostly fentanyl. Five kids — a one-year-old, a two-year-old, a five-year-old, and two 15-year-olds — died.
