In February, Gov. Tina Kotek declared a state of emergency in Portland as the number of fentanyl overdoses skyrocketed a few years after drug use was decriminalized in the state, Breitbart News reported.
Meanwhile, NBC News reported Monday the recently signed law stipulates that possession of small amounts of drugs, including heroin or methamphetamine, will be deemed a misdemeanor.
The punishment that comes with being caught with the hard drugs could land suspects in jail for up to six months, the outlet said, adding that officials will offer individuals treatment as another option when it comes to criminal penalties. …
In 2020, voters in Oregon passed the decriminalization measure that reduced penalties but was also an effort to help those struggling to get treatment.

I pray Lord that you will protect the police, Judges and those in government that stand for righteous laws. Also godly protection on their love ones and families. In Jesus’ name.
Hallelujah, praise the Lord Jesus Christ who lives forever and reigns over ALL creation, no matter what the evil think!!!!!!!!!! God set these people completely free, let all who can be saved be saved and expose the devil to all people that NONE go to hell and all who can fulfill purpose do in Jesus name!!
The problem is not the addict! Requiring an addict to go to treatment if they do not want to break free! I know, I have been clean for over 24 years because I went in wanting to break free! The state solutions appear to be made without ever consulting recovering addicts!
The problem is the suppliers, the cartels, the drug runners, etc!
Yes, exactly and the solution is not a government program but Jesus and the anointing that destroys the yoke! They need saved and then set free and the evil MUST be REMOVED and JUDGED!!
Thank you Jesus and Heavenly Father for exposing the darkness of drugs to those who would rather keep their eyes closed. Please minister to those lost souls, convict them of their sin, pride and their need of you. Please help deliver them from their sorcery of drug use and a life of sin. Please Jesus help them see the wretchedness. The wretchedness we all have. For none are good, but God. Amen.
Father, we call the prodigals home. People on drugs need the healing power that comes from God alone. Heal their hurts, their brokenness, their everything. Transfer them from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of Thy Dear Son. Let revival begin on the streets. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
Father,I thank you for exposing the enemy tactics. I pray in agreement that all decisions to undo the laws that cause people to die and get hooked on any drugs be done in Jesus name Amen ! Thank you Father!
