So fucking infuriating. Criminalization is not a solution to substance use struggles. Housing, mental health support, community, holistic well-being are the goddamn solutions.

This NIMBY ass liberal fuckshit. 110 was an amazing step in the right direction and instead of building on it, OR state legislators are just kowtowing to developers and soulless wealthy residents who want to see houseless people struggling just disappear into a prison cell.

I knew this would go this way. Democrats with an overwhelming legislative majority proving constantly why they do not deserve anyone's fucking vote.

Oregon’s drug decriminalization experiment appears dead

The voter-approved Measure 110 is nearing its end as the Legislature sends a bill unwinding Oregon«s drug decriminalization toward the governor»s desk.

This is so personal and it makes me so angry. For anyone who has struggled with substance use of any kind is profoundly aware of how incarceration and criminalization are completely antithetical to addressing underlying issues.

I have so much love for the deeply caring and thoughtful folks who fiercely advocate for harm reduction and actual support systems.

Repealing 110 was so fucking predictable with the relentlessly trash politicians that plague this world but the impact is still so devastating. I'm so tired. I can feel the imminent suffering this will bring in my soul.

Love waking up to new ways the world is terrible. The irony of this news just making me want a drink and a cigarette... our society is the cause; the coping is the symptom

"In every American community there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects, ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally."
