“#Oregon law decriminalizing street drugs goes into effect<\/strong>”

Oregon\u2019s law decriminalizing small amounts of all street drugs went into effect on Monday \u2014 making it the first state in the nation to enact such a measure.<\/p>\n

Those found with personal-use amounts of drugs \u2014 including heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD, oxycodone and ecstasy \u2014 will now face a $100 fine instead of a criminal charge.<\/p>\n

Known as Measure 110, the legislation was overwhelmingly app<\/a>roved by state voters in November. It focuses on providing drug users with treatment through newly funded addiction recovery centers.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the first domino of our cruel and inhumane war on drugs has fallen,setting off what we expect to be a cascade of other efforts centering health over criminalization,\u201d Kassandra Frederique, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The law was not without opposition. Two dozen district attorneys argued it would lead to the normalization of dangerous drugs.<\/p>\n

Oregon is known to be at the forefront of progressive drug laws.<\/p>\n

In 1973, the state became the first in the nation to decriminalize marijuana. Then, in 2014, recreational marijuana became legal in Oregon.<\/p>\n
