Portland resembles an 'open air drug market' after decriminalizing hard drugs: Overdose deaths skyrocket by 41% in the Democrat-led city as homeless addicts collapse on sidewalks
This is what Democrats mean when they say they care about people.
- Law enforcement agents say that the streets of Portland are full of homeless addicts openly buying and selling drugs
- Photos show the desperate situation in the Pacific Northwest city, where people can be seen shooting up drugs or passed out in broad daylight
- The dreadful scene comes 16 months after Ballot Measure 110 went into effect in February 2021
- Oregon was the first state in the United States to decriminalize possession of personal-use amounts of heroin, methamphetamine, LSD, oxycodone
- But since the measure was passed overdose deaths in the state hit an all-time high in 2021 with 1069, a 41 percent increase from 2020
