The "Drug Addiction Treatment and Recovery Act" will move Oregon's drug policy from a punitive, criminal approach over to "a humane, cost-effective, health approach."

"People suffering from addiction are more effectively treated with health care services than with criminal punishments," the bill states. "A health care approach includes a health assessment to figure out the needs of people who are suffering from addiction, and it includes connecting them to the services they need."

Drug offenders will no longer be treated as criminals. Instead, they will now be offering them addiction services funded by marijuana tax revenue, which is more than $100 million a year in the state.

More on the story from Fox News:

Instead of treating drug users as criminals, Oregon will now offer them addiction services funded by marijuana tax revenue, which is more than $100 million a year in the state.

Only small amounts of drugs are decriminalized, such as less than 1 gram of heroin or MDMA; 2 grams of cocaine or methamphetamine; 12 grams of psilocybin mushrooms; and 40 doses of LSD, oxycodone or methadone.

Yet another story that appears it could be from the satire news site the Babylon Bee, but it is not. Heroin, crack and meth, in small doses, are all fair game in Oregon.
