Oregon lawmakers are looking to reverse an experimental project that decriminalized possession of all drugs as fatal overdose numbers increase in the Beaver State.
The experimental law lasted three years before the lawmakers considered reversing it, and are now aiming to make small possession of drugs such as fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine illegal. The measure has already passed both state houses, and is waiting for a signature from Gov. Tina Kotek (D-OR).
