Oregon decriminalized small amounts of hard drugs in an attempt to focus on treatment over punishment.
Measure 110 passed with 58% of the vote in 2020 , but three years later , 64% wanted some or all of it repealed.
Fentanyl was the most popular drug at 31% , heroin at 7% , oxycodone at 3% , and cocaine at 1% .
Nearly 2,000 citations linked to Measure 110 were written in Multnomah County , which is Oregon ’s smallest yet most populous county.
The conviction rate was 93% , though the high number stems from nearly everyone skipping their court dates.
Medford , Oregon , a city with a total population of 85,824 , wrote the most number of citations, at 1,756 .
