Officials in Oregon are considering reversing key provisions of a 2021 liberal experiment to decriminalize heroin and fentanyl, The Telegraph reported.
The rationale behind the original initiative, called Measure 110, was that decriminalizing hard drugs would make access to treatment easier for addicts, according to The Telegraph.
Measure 110 was backed by 58 percent of voters in November 2020, a recent Emerson College pollrevealed that public opinion has swung drastically, with 56 percent of voters now saying they would back a repeal, the newspaper reported.
