    Drugs were decriminalized. Crime and overdose has gone up everywhere but a majority of Oregonians seem to believe that decriminalization is the cause.

      Why did crime and overdosing go up everywhere then? I’m for legalization, but that seems a bit too coincidental to just ignore.

        Crime and overdoses went up across the country, not just in states where drugs were decriminalized.
