Oregon has become the first state in the U.S. to decriminalize personal possession of all drugs, while Washington D.C. allows for consumption of magic mushrooms and New Jersey and Arizona legalize marijuana for recreational use.
The move to decriminalize hard drugs including heroin and methamphetamine in Oregon - as well as legalizing the use of psilocybin mushrooms - passed by two large margins on Tuesday.
Known as Measure 110, it will completely change how Oregon's justice system treats those who are found with personal-use amounts of the hard drugs.
'Today's victory is a landmark declaration that the time has come to stop criminalizing people for drug use,' said Kassandra Frederique, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which was behind the hard-drugs measure. 'Measure 110 is arguably the biggest blow to the war on drugs to date.'
EDITOR'S NOTE: No doubt, this is a bad loss in the war on drugs. Oregon will find that with no fear of being jailed for small amounts of heroin, cocaine, meth and other dangerous drugs, there will be a significant increase in the number of druggies.
