Oregon 's new law is a reversal of the state’s 2020 decriminalization, which went into effect Sunday .

The new legislation imposes tougher penalties for selling drugs in public and makes drug possession for personal use a misdemeanor offense.

Under the new law, those caught with small amounts of hard drugs such as fentanyl, heroin, and meth will be able to choose between a charge of possession or treatment programs.
