> On the next ballot, Oregon residents are looking to re-criminalize hard drugs, but to have lasting success, they still need to address the incentive structure. Jail time wasn’t stopping users. Neither was free help. What’s left to try?
seems they failed to listen to the other half of that. you're supposed to take the money you were putting people in jail with and spend it on therapy programs so people 1) have an off-ramp from the reason they use drugs in the first place, and, 2) have an off-ramp from the drugs once they no longer see a need for the drugs.
but, sure, just do the usual fascisty crap of make more shit illegal and never help anyone.

@HunDriverWidow rehab processes *cannot work* so long as there is something fundamentally still wrong with the person. this was proven with the ACE score studies the CDC strategically ignored, despite being replicated by at least a dozen states to be accurate science.
