In late October, two dozen Oregon policymakers, advocates, police and prosecutors landed in Lisbon, Portugal, to learn about that nation's two-decade-old drug decriminalization law. They arrived a few days after reporter Noelle Crombie, who traveled to the country independently to do much the same. The fact-finding missions come as the voting public has soured on Oregon's Measure 110, a decriminalization law approved by voters two years ago. Now, as as the potent and addictive drug fentanyl has proliferated and overdoses have skyrocketed, polls suggest a majority favor a full or partial repeal. Some of Crombie's stories from Portugal, and back in Oregon: Oregon leaders tasked to act on Measure 110, fentanyl went to Portugal in search of answers.

During the midterms, Oregon voters passed Measure 114 which restricts magazine capacity for firearms and requires purchasers to obtain a permit which includes a background check and safety training. Cass Crifasi, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions, talks with Lindsay Smith Rogers about why this measure is a lifesaving win not only for gun violence solutions and public health, but also for evidence-based advocacy. They also discuss where the measure falls in the context of the Supreme Court's Bruen Decision and what Crifasi hopes to see happen next.

Statistics from 2020 show that Oregon had the second-highest alcohol and drug addiction rates in the nation and ranked last in treatment options. Oregonians passed Measure 110 almost two years ago. It decriminalized small amounts of illegal drugs and directed more money to addiction recovery services. But state bureaucracy has delayed the distribution of critical funding for providers. The advocacy group Oregon Recovers says the state is not doing enough to address the addiction crisis. We hear from Oregon Recovers Executive Director Mike Marshall and get a response from Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen.

Full Text: Nearly a year after Oregon's drug decriminalization experiment began, results point to fewer arrests but little interest in addiction services. In 2020, Oregon voters approved Measure 110 which decriminalizes small amounts of controlled substances, including meth and heroin, and funds drug addiction treatment and recovery services. It came into effect on February 1, 2021. As predicted, fewer drug arrests were made in 2021. Instead of earning jail time, those found in possession of drugs are charged with a violation and pay a $100 fine. Or, they can avoid the fine altogether by participating in a health assessment over the phone. As of November, there have been 68 total health assessment screenings. However, 49 callers were not interested in resources and merely underwent the assessment to escape the fine, while only 11 people were connected to some kind of addiction or recovery service. While M110 is still early in its implementation, this data is telling. What good will pumping millions of dollars into the behavioral health network be if no one's there seeking help? What's missing in this equation is any kind of personal accountability. Many of those who need help won't seek it out. Drug courts were helpful in this regard because they pushed addicts into treatment which reduced substance use and drug-involved crimes. Officials should consider adding similar “teeth” to this program. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coffeewithcascade/message
Oregon's Measure 11 legislation is a hold over from the “tough on crime” '90s, dictating mandatory minimum sentences for certain felony offenses and disproportionally affecting young men of color. In 2019, legislators limited the law's impact on juveniles, but reforms were not made retroactive, leaving young offenders like Ricky Gaters with few choices other than to petition Governor Kate Brown for clemency or request post conviction relief. Ricky chose the latter, a process fraught with peril.
(Note: Rebecca was the primary host on this episode. Elan and Rebecca will often alternate roles.) It was our pleasure to interview our friend and colleague, Sam Chapman, who played an instrumental role as Campaign Manager in the passage of Measure 109 (Oregon's new psilocybin therapy program). Sam is now the Executive Director of the Healing Advocacy Fund, a non-profit focused on ensuring the smooth and equitable rollout of the program. In this episode, we discussed: Sam's origin story [2:05] Sam's involvement with SSDP (Students for Sensible Drug Policy), medical cannabis legalization, and policymaking [8:20] Sam's role in Measure 109 & Healing Advocacy Fund [10:55] About Measure 109 [13:35] Lessons from the cannabis field [21:00] Hopes and aims for an equitable program [23:55] The difference between legalization and decriminalization [47:15] Message for white allies (& those who aspire to be allies) [58:40] Elan speaks on allyship [1:01:35] Big dreams for the future [1:09:05] What healing means to him [1:15:45] "We should absolutely decriminalize psilocybin and psychedelics. If you're claiming that you're doing this to end prohibition and the harms of the war on drugs, you've got to open your scope. People are not going to jail at the same rate for psychedelics as they are for other drugs. Decriminalization is simply the removal of criminal penalties for possession [Oregon's Measure 110]. Measure 109 is separate. It created its own bubble, which provides legal protection for you to provide or access psilocybin services within the legal structure.

In this episode of Hear Me Now, we discuss Oregon's Measure 110 and the effort to shift the focus from law enforcement to healthcare when we talk about substance abuse. We will talk to people involved in drug treatment, addiction and harm reduction in Oregon as together they chart a new way forward.
America has been fighting a War on Drugs for 50 years - a war we've been losing. Oregon's Measure 110 is a bold attempt to re-reframe the tactics. It will attempt to shift the thinking from law enforcement to health care. On today's program, we hear from four people who'll be involved in how this first-in-the-nation experiment plays out. They don't all agree on the means to an end, but they do agree on the goal: Get help to anyone who wants it for substance use disorders and stop putting people in jail for what amounts to a complex neurobehavioral disorder with far-reaching social consequences.

Thanks to PYP MVP Will Cuddy from Show #106, I had the honor of talking to Noah Schultz this week. Noah is currently on tour across the United States promoting the documentary about his life called Perception: From Prison to Purpose. We had a fantastic conversation and I was moved by his story. Noah Schultz is a poet and a writer who was incarcerated at the age of 17 under Oregon's Measure 11. During his time in custody, he was introduced to creative writing, and has since transformed his worldview. While in prison, he earned an Associate's Degree and two Bachelor's Degrees, and even created and taught a poetry curriculum to other inmates. He is an aspiring entrepreneur interested in poverty, human trafficking and environmental issues and is currently in the process of launching his own fashion line, Forgotten Culture Clothing, with his best friend. Noah's favorite team is the Portland Timbers and he brings a lot of positive energy to every audience he serves, and Team PYP, we are no different. Assisting others in finding their inner greatness is why he wakes up in the morning and he loves to encourage people to say to themselves, “I am qualified!” You can buy a copy of his poetry book “Morse Code Kisses” on Amazon here. One of Noah's favorite things to say about sports is: “It's not just a game...it's a language that connects the world to you and me.” We love that, too! Connect with PYP on Twitter Shownotes
