"The couple has donated $500,000 to support a measure to decriminalize all drugs in Oregon, which would also allow drug abuse treatment. Measure 110 would reduce the arrest of drug owners for misdemeanors and reduce the number of drug-related offenses by 91%. The campaign is supported by the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon (ACLU) and the Oregon Drug Policy Alliance.
Measure 110, which is on the ballot, aims to change the narrative about drug use in the state. Rather than treating drug users as criminals, the campaign's organizers believe that drug abuse should be treated as a public health issue. The war on drugs has created a culture of fear and fear of drugs and made it easy to be afraid of a drug user, "campaign manager Peter Zuckerman told Willamette Week."
