The authorities are leading demands for Oregon to recriminalise heroin and fentanyl after addicts took over the streets of major cities
Oregon, the first US state to decriminalise hard drugs, is set for a U-turn after addicts took over the streets of major cities.
Police chiefs, district attorneys and city officials are leading demands for Oregon to recriminalise heroin and fentanyl, reversing key provisions of the liberal experiment, which was introduced in 2021.
Underpinning the original initiative, known as Measure 110, was the belief that decriminalising hard drugs would make it easier to get addicts into treatment.
