Oregon Drug Decriminalization and Treatment Measure Qualifies for November Ballot

Tom Angell, writing for Marijuana Moment:

It’s official: Oregon voters will decide in November whether to pass a measure to decriminalize drug possession while using marijuana tax revenue to fund expanded substance misuse treatment services.

The secretary of state’s office announced on Tuesday that activists behind the Drug Addiction Treatment and Recovery Act have collected enough valid signatures from registered voters to place the measure on the ballot.

This news comes just one day after the organizers of a separate ballot measure in Oregon announced that they gathered enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. Things sure are heating up in the Beaver State.
