Last week, Oregon lawmakers finally passed a bill re-imposing some minimal criminal penalties for the possession of hard drugs after decriminalizing it entirely in 2021 following the BLM-Antifa violence and George Floyd panic. Hard drugs (fentanyl, heroin, etc.) being decriminalized was advocated for and supported by the ACLU, the homeless industrial complex and far-left activists. Meanwhile, fentanyl continued to pour into the U.S. through the porous southern border. What followed was a surge in drug deaths, overdoses (including of children) & open drug abuse on the main streets. Multnomah County, where Portland is, had more deaths from overdosing than Covid-19. Downtown remains a shell of itself years after the pandemic peak and nightly Antifa riots that shuttered businesses. Streets are usually littered with hypodermic needles and feces.

Leftists and Democrats who support decriminalization blame other factors for their decriminalization law not being effective.
