#measure110 #oregon there really was effectively no plan that could actually work attached to it. so this became a lesson about combating the Drug crisis for harm reduction advocates like myself, which is that pure intentions aren't enough and that to actually do it right requires much more

rhetroically it comes up a lot like "We don't want them to be able to just go down to the corner pharmacy and get high." but it's like all things considered that would be a much better alternative than what's happening instead.

Martha would have been informed by her pharmacist recondmnded dosage information and everything. She'd still be with us. #women #feminist #feminism #measure110
which ironically has been used as the example about why we shouildn't legalize. "What if they could just go to the pharmacy and get it." what if indeed. If they could, the pharmacist would be ethically obligated to give them a pharmacy consul things would be clearly labeled. (cont) #measure110

I fail to see how if measure 110 was failing there's any solution in returning to the very selfsame policies that failed us in the past. #measure110 it's a conservative reaction, but, it's dumb. it's based on an inability to remember prohibition was failing. #oregon
Yup. Rampant ubiquitous open drug use and open air markets in our iconic downtown #portland and across the state changed people’s minds. But it’s worth noting the original measure was more about treatment than just simply decriminalizing drugs. It did not work.
