Just over three years since Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 110, elected officials want to repeal key elements, blaming the law for open drug use and soaring overdoses. But it’s their own hands-off approach that isn’t working, advocates say.

The fact that they think the problem could have been solved by a special ticket instead of a normal ticket and a business card shows just how clueless 110 supporters are.

Making treatment optional is the problem, not the methodology of communicating how optional it is.

      Personally? I didn’t think it would be effective. But the vast drug use among the homeless keeps them homeless.

      Until they get clean, they can’t hold a job. Until they can hold a job, they can’t pay rent.
