On Tuesday night, a number of US states voted in favor of decriminalizing drugs in an unprecedented drug law overhaul.
Arizona, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota, voted to decriminalize recreational marijuana
Oregon, all illegal drugs – including heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines – will be decriminalized, meanwhile psilocybin, or psychoactive mushrooms, will be legalized for therapeutic use – a historic first.
Oregon has some of the highest substance use and mental health problems in the country, and its access to services is one of the worst in the country. It has the third highest number of people needing but not receiving treatment for alcohol and substance use disorders.
