Oregon's Drug Decriminalization - Is it Working?

Oregon's Drug Decriminalization - Is it Working?

In this podcast episode, we discuss the decriminalization of drugs in Oregon and the recent move by BC to do the same. We share personal stories of how opioid addiction affected our lives and question the effectiveness of drug decriminalization in solving the problem. With statistics showing a rise in opioid overdose deaths in 2021, the year decriminalization went into effect, we ask whether this approach is really working. We also analyze a video from CBC News where a police officer patrols the city and hands out tickets to drug users. We question the effectiveness of such an approach and suggest investing the resources elsewhere. Watch this podcast episode to learn more about drug decriminalization and how it impacts society
