Las autoridades del estado de Oregón (Estados Unidos) declararon el estado de emergencia por tres meses en la mayor ciudad del estado, Portland, debido a la epidemia de fentanilo. A finales de 2020, Oregón se convirtió en el primer estado de EE.UU. en aprobar la despenalización de la posesión de pequeñas cantidades de drogas duras, como la cocaína y otras sustancias. La llamada Medida 110 entró en vigor en el año 2021.
En este contexto, un informe del año pasado de los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades de EE.UU. (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés) reveló que más de 107.000 personas murieron por sobredosis de drogas en el país entre enero de 2019 y junio de 2022, de las cuales más de dos tercios estaban relacionadas con opioides sintéticos, en su mayoría, fentanilo producido ilícitamente. Para combatir la epidemia de drogas, las sobredosis mortales y la distribución generalizada de fentanilo, se formó un grupo de trabajo en la ciudad de Portland y una de sus iniciativas fue declarar el estado de emergencia. La propuesta fue apoyada por la gobernadora de Oregón, Tina Kotek, la presidenta del condado de Multnomah, Jessica Vega Pederson, y el alcalde de Portland, Ted Wheeler.
“Nuestro país y nuestro estado nunca han visto una droga tan mortal y adictiva, y todos están intentando decidir cómo responder a esta crisis”, dijo Kotek sobre la situación.
Según el comunicado, el Departamento de Salud ha decidido lanzar una campaña de educación pública que se difundirá en transportes, vallas publicitarias, ‘streamings’ de audio y medios digitales, entre otros, durante el estado de emergencia. Asimismo, se recurrirá a las policías estatales, del condado y de la ciudad, así como a recursos médicos, para combatir la epidemia de fentanilo. Además, los servicios municipales buscarán ayudar a los afectados por la droga, proporcionando tratamiento a las personas que sufren adicción.
Three months ago, I went to Portland for business, and I experience what is like with my own eyes. Voters in Oregon took a dramatic step back from ‘America’s long-running War on Drugs’. By a big margin, Oregonians approved Ballot Measure 110, which eliminated criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of any drug, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. When the policy went into effect early the next year, it lifted the fear of prosecution for the state’s drug users, but large amount of people started to use drugs. Now, you can even walk around without not seeing the zombie spectacle.
It is crazy out there. I’ve seen kids from the same college my kid is on the street, totally lost. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s100 times stronger than morphine,

An old saying goes “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Given the fact that a large majority of Portland’s voters have kept voting for the same progressive politicians and their progressive leadership for years, and Portland has been getting worse the entire time, it is safe to say that most Portland voters are insane.
As someone who has called Portland home since 1998, I can attest to the rapid decay of our once-beautiful city. The saddest part is seeing people continue to vote for the same failed policies that got us into this mess.
Decriminalization doesn’t solve or remotely help the issue because the issue IS the BLACKMARKET! The Blackmarket fentenyl (which IS NOT Pharmaceutical grade compound) is random Fentenyl analogs, a plethora of which are in or finding their way into every drug of choice. So decrim doesn’t just make it “suddenly disappear” . Full Federal legalization in which stores or pharmacies offer Clean drug supply for APPROVED users who’ve undergone an intake process , are in the specific database, can buy and receive a limit of a safe supply drug and must use it under the pharmacy supervision, in which they could offer treatment as well, for those interested. That’s the ONLY way this would work! And could work! So taking Portugal approach and strengthening & improving it.
I lived in Portland until recently. It was a huge mistake. A once very nice city is being destroyed. Without the option of sending them to jail, many will choose to stay on drugs and on the street.
What is the thinking of the Oregon legislature on amending the laws to decriminalize drug usage. Do they know something we don’t? The state is run by left-wing hippies or the children of hippies.
This place is the grateful dead meets the walking dead. Tips for visitors: Don’t go into Chinatown and keep your hand on your backpack or purse at all times.
Decriminalizing hard drug does not work. It only kills the drug users and sends money to the drug cartels. Either have drugs illegal and force drug addicts off the streets and into treatment or have hard drugs fully legal and regulate and tax them like they did with weed. But decriminalize is this area in between where nothing gets done. As for Portland, the downtown is a mess and I no longer go there. I used to go downtown all the time for markets and festivals. It is really a shame; Portland was a great place to live up until a few years ago. It is probably going to be a decade before it recovers.
YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID! BUT YOU CAN VOTE IT OUT!!! Sorry, NO sympathy for Portland… I am sad for the thousands of good people suffering for the stupidity of others!
They legalized drugs and they thought it was a great idea. Life is way too serious to allow yourself to be brainwashed by people who believe in fairies and unicorns!
Where are the drugs coming from in the first place. How is it Oregon would even THINK it would be fine to allow drugs to be used in that state. What a pathetic city. What law? There are no laws in Oregon. What about those dying every day from OD? Oregon’s lawmakers are assasins.
Outstanding article. Additionally, your website loads up extremely quickly. Could you provide me with your affiliate link to your web host? I wish my site could load up as quickly as yours.
Independientemente de si se legaliza o no ciertas drogas es importante que se concientice a todos sobre los efectos que estas da en el organismo, pero más a los jóvenes que son más propensos a desarrollar adicción y tener más efectos secundarios por su etapa de desarrollo. Tristementte he conocido personas que niegan el efecto negativo de ciertas sustancias
Coincido. Si a alguien le gusta falopearse o autodestruirse, despues no deberia ser responsabilidad de quienes pagamos los impuestos.
Los familiares o el estado deberian responder con un plan de pagos. Y los politicos que votaron legalizar drogas tambien se deberian hacer cargo.
Es increible que un tipo que no sabe nada de medicina vote por algo que no conoce.
Es como si me ponen a mi a cargo de la NASA.
Here is the problem and it is insane: The decision about drug allowance or forbiddance has become political rather than based on scientific medical studies.
Another state emergency… you know what that means right!… they want more fund … more money… for what? i believe for their own pocket… the problems were there for years without solution, but money needed more and more….
There is a REASON why drugs and drug users were criminalized. The idea if you make something no longer illegal, then there is no incentive to NOT do it. Which is why you have all the big dark blue cities and states looks like a zombie apocalypse. Same thing with shop lifting. Hurting people and every other crime. People don’t do it because they don’t want to get in trouble.
“In these troubled times of troubling troubles with tribbles and triffids, we should always remember first that once you go full hyper-dimensional rhombicosidodecahedron, you never go back.”
I couldn’t imagine being on that stuff. My life is difficult enough – to put it LIGHTLY. I’m grateful to have a roof over my head and access to food most nights. Scraping by, but I get by. I always tell anyone thinking about using heroin or fentanyl, “What little you may have, be prepared to lose it all.” Because it will happen. I’ve watched it happen to several of my friends first-hand. However, I adamantly disagree with how government handled the opioid crisis when it comes to discarding pain patients. The laws created by the CDC in 2016 pertaining to pain management doctors and their patients, I believe fueled both the real opioid crisis we see on the streets and loss of life. There was zero help or outreach by the government or medical community with help for people prescribed high doses of multiple opioid medications abruptly terminated as a pain management patient by their doctors.
Let’s recap: Portland legalized drugs. I thought Portland thought drugs were good ? I love how they’re acting like they just found these statistics out now and they weren’t available before this. At least they were able to find the one person who believed this actually helped them.
This is my experience: I had a kidney stone in the early 90’s and went to the ER. They put in an IV and gave me fentanyl. I literally thought I was going to die! I felt a cold feeling going up from my feet and legs through my body. I thought, “When it gets to my head, I am going to die!” The feeling started to go away when a nurse came back with another syringe. I said, “Please, no more of that!” She said, “I will just give you half.” A lie: they never give you half an injection. I went through the feeling again, terrified I was going to die! Finally, it subsided, and I said, “I am leaving.” They gave me a referral to a urologist. That is in my medical record now on a red sticker on the file folder: “NO FENTANYL.” That is some SCARY, nasty stuff.
Ever since they decriminalized drugs here in Portland… drug addiction increased. When I get home and check my shoes for poo which I have to do a lot more often now, sometimes it’s not canine, but human. My local grocery store now has more security guards than cashiers
I would be interested in hearing the all-inclusive cost to taxpayers from that insane move to legalize drugs. And it is clear what the impact has been on the quality of life for those hard working, law abiding, tax paying citizens who must live in this nightmare. And then we are expected to have and use Narcan???? Are you out of your mind, govt officials?
All these state and local politicians that are declaring these emergencies will NEVER utter the words, “This is our fault, we did this, we’re sorry.” Cause and blame is 100% something that needs to be discussed – but they will never.
This is what happens when one or two counties in your state hold the majority of the vote
The majority of Oregon is embarrassed and shamed of Portland and we never thought the decriminalization of drugs was such a good idea
That’s good, though the district attorneys of several counties in this state are currently in a lawsuit to turn over the egregious living conditions. Multnoma county has forced the rest of us to live in.

CommentPingback: LO MÁS LEÍDO ☺ Febrero 9, 2024 – Prisionero en Argentina
Three months ago, I went to Portland for business, and I experience what is like with my own eyes. Voters in Oregon took a dramatic step back from ‘America’s long-running War on Drugs’. By a big margin, Oregonians approved Ballot Measure 110, which eliminated criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of any drug, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. When the policy went into effect early the next year, it lifted the fear of prosecution for the state’s drug users, but large amount of people started to use drugs. Now, you can even walk around without not seeing the zombie spectacle.
A real mess. You can’t even walk in Portland downtown.
I literally broke down and started crying when I seen this. I am hoping for a miracle
What a mess
It is crazy out there. I’ve seen kids from the same college my kid is on the street, totally lost. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s100 times stronger than morphine,
The ones with bigger health issues are the people who voted this law.
Evidente y lamentablemente los votantes de Portlad, se parecen a los argentinos. Que la suerte los acompañe. EEUU es un hermoso pais-potencia.CLAUDIO KUSSMAN
“Keep Portland Weird” is an understatemen
An old saying goes “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Given the fact that a large majority of Portland’s voters have kept voting for the same progressive politicians and their progressive leadership for years, and Portland has been getting worse the entire time, it is safe to say that most Portland voters are insane.
This law is a perfect example of how stupid people can be leaders.
The Oregon District Attorney said it was a really bad idea in 2020
Too bad they didn;’t listen to him
Oregon is a 3rd world country
As someone who has called Portland home since 1998, I can attest to the rapid decay of our once-beautiful city. The saddest part is seeing people continue to vote for the same failed policies that got us into this mess.
Now is time to decriminalize public urination, defecation, other victimless crimes, too!@,
O_O
(lol)
The majority of adults in our country have never grown up, decriminalizing drugs was stupid.
Portland is like a big open asylum….
Portland officers were nuts for trying that.
Decriminalization doesn’t solve or remotely help the issue because the issue IS the BLACKMARKET! The Blackmarket fentenyl (which IS NOT Pharmaceutical grade compound) is random Fentenyl analogs, a plethora of which are in or finding their way into every drug of choice. So decrim doesn’t just make it “suddenly disappear” . Full Federal legalization in which stores or pharmacies offer Clean drug supply for APPROVED users who’ve undergone an intake process , are in the specific database, can buy and receive a limit of a safe supply drug and must use it under the pharmacy supervision, in which they could offer treatment as well, for those interested. That’s the ONLY way this would work! And could work! So taking Portugal approach and strengthening & improving it.
That’d would cost an arm and a leg.
I lived in Portland until recently. It was a huge mistake. A once very nice city is being destroyed. Without the option of sending them to jail, many will choose to stay on drugs and on the street.
This is exactly why I left Portland and have no plans to return.
I live near Portland and it’s an absolute shitshow. So many people openly smoking drugs all over the city.
I left Portland two years ago. We lost 75K selling our house.
What is the thinking of the Oregon legislature on amending the laws to decriminalize drug usage. Do they know something we don’t? The state is run by left-wing hippies or the children of hippies.
They shot themselves in the foot with this decision of legalizing drugs.
These people are absolutely delusional. They though this was going to be a good idea.
They ruined Portland.
My goodness.
This place is the grateful dead meets the walking dead. Tips for visitors: Don’t go into Chinatown and keep your hand on your backpack or purse at all times.
As someone that has grown Up in Oregon , a beautiful place, now this is one of the worst thing that has ever happened to the state
Decriminalizing hard drug does not work. It only kills the drug users and sends money to the drug cartels. Either have drugs illegal and force drug addicts off the streets and into treatment or have hard drugs fully legal and regulate and tax them like they did with weed. But decriminalize is this area in between where nothing gets done. As for Portland, the downtown is a mess and I no longer go there. I used to go downtown all the time for markets and festivals. It is really a shame; Portland was a great place to live up until a few years ago. It is probably going to be a decade before it recovers.
Portland is gross now. Good job liberals and dems.
That’s what happens when you decriminalize drugs.
Yay for Democrat policies.
A left-wing democrat controlled area. What a suprise.
Oregon’s politicians cause of all their problems.
They voted for these crazy leftist liberals. Not much sense ever comes out of Portland
Portland a socialist paradise
Watching the video is like watching a blend between the movie “Idiocracy” and the TV show “The Walking Dead”
They ruined the city.
You made this problem now deal with it , damn fools…
I hope with don’t have to deal with stupidity like that here in the UK
Zombieland in real life
I guess they didn’t know what happened in Philadelphia.
They though it was a good idea? Nuts!
This is a huge waste of taxpayer money. They voted for this. Let it ride as is.
Why’s it an emergency…????? This is exactly what the people voted for…!!!!
It seems to me they were looking for an outcome like this.
terrible idea and now they have to face the consequences.
The Leftist wall of bright idealogy is about 3 bricks high now
Who woulda think it?!
Defund police = crime.
Legalize drugs = death.
Disarm law abides = ……
You do the math.
Not the meth.
Yeah, terrible results.
YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID!
BUT YOU CAN VOTE IT OUT!!! Sorry, NO sympathy for Portland… I am sad for the thousands of good people suffering for the stupidity of others!
They legalized drugs and they thought it was a great idea. Life is way too serious to allow yourself to be brainwashed by people who believe in fairies and unicorns!
Keep voting democratic and this is what you get
Game over. Portland is a lost city. Get out if you can.
Next time, analyze who you vote for…
PEOPLE FROM PORTLAND SET THE RULES.
Be careful what you wish for
Portland voted that.
Didn’t they vote for it? Let them live in the squalor they supported
Portland is way too left.
Oh yeah, and as leftists, they tend to fuck everything up.
How stupid can the government be
They caused this
Experiment tried; experiment failed.
THEY RUINED A BUNCH OF LIVES.
It doesn’t matter. They still get their paycheck.
What in the world were they thinking. Addiction doesn’t just go away. There has to be consequences in order to discourage drug use.
What brainless moron thought this was a good idea? Addiction is a terrible thing and needs to be treated, not coddled.
Where are the drugs coming from in the first place. How is it Oregon would even THINK it would be fine to allow drugs to be used in that state. What a pathetic city. What law? There are no laws in Oregon. What about those dying every day from OD? Oregon’s lawmakers are assasins.
where are all of the drug programs they said would be created? Just try to find one.
you want to help them; they want to do their drugs and the estate says it’s okay to do drugs! You fight a battle that cannot win.
Outstanding article. Additionally, your website loads up extremely quickly. Could you provide me with your affiliate link to your web host? I wish my site could load up as quickly as yours.
This mess was created by lawmakers. Shouldn’t they respond for this???
They made these hard drugs legal. Here is reality. This should not be shocking to anyone!
Independientemente de si se legaliza o no ciertas drogas es importante que se concientice a todos sobre los efectos que estas da en el organismo, pero más a los jóvenes que son más propensos a desarrollar adicción y tener más efectos secundarios por su etapa de desarrollo. Tristementte he conocido personas que niegan el efecto negativo de ciertas sustancias
Coincido. Si a alguien le gusta falopearse o autodestruirse, despues no deberia ser responsabilidad de quienes pagamos los impuestos.
Los familiares o el estado deberian responder con un plan de pagos. Y los politicos que votaron legalizar drogas tambien se deberian hacer cargo.
Es increible que un tipo que no sabe nada de medicina vote por algo que no conoce.
Es como si me ponen a mi a cargo de la NASA.
Ya sabemos a que llevan las drogas.
Here is the problem and it is insane: The decision about drug allowance or forbiddance has become political rather than based on scientific medical studies.
A little late, Portland. Garbage in, garbage out
You need to let the people stupid enough to use that crap, unalive themselves with it. It’s a sad fact, but the people that will quit, will quit.
what do ya expect when you make all drugs legal in the city.????
Politicians… they are always “experts”… and they probe to be always wrong.
Another state emergency… you know what that means right!… they want more fund … more money… for what? i believe for their own pocket… the problems were there for years without solution, but money needed more and more….
Portland officers specialize in traying to solve problems that they created.
Yeah. The worst of the worst.
Drugs are not good?
What a surprise!!
You mean that drugs are bad??? Who knew.??!!??!!
They ended up getting what they wanted
Indeed.
There is a REASON why drugs and drug users were criminalized. The idea if you make something no longer illegal, then there is no incentive to NOT do it. Which is why you have all the big dark blue cities and states looks like a zombie apocalypse. Same thing with shop lifting. Hurting people and every other crime. People don’t do it because they don’t want to get in trouble.
“In these troubled times of troubling troubles with tribbles and triffids, we should always remember first that once you go full hyper-dimensional rhombicosidodecahedron, you never go back.”
—Albert Einstein
People from Portland voted for it, so let them have it. Zero sympathy.
20 years at go was so good in no drugs no casinos was healthy society now is .impossible to fix
Which officials are going to be held responsible and put in jail.? Or, at least be fired.
I couldn’t imagine being on that stuff. My life is difficult enough – to put it LIGHTLY. I’m grateful to have a roof over my head and access to food most nights. Scraping by, but I get by. I always tell anyone thinking about using heroin or fentanyl, “What little you may have, be prepared to lose it all.” Because it will happen. I’ve watched it happen to several of my friends first-hand. However, I adamantly disagree with how government handled the opioid crisis when it comes to discarding pain patients. The laws created by the CDC in 2016 pertaining to pain management doctors and their patients, I believe fueled both the real opioid crisis we see on the streets and loss of life. There was zero help or outreach by the government or medical community with help for people prescribed high doses of multiple opioid medications abruptly terminated as a pain management patient by their doctors.
Anybody need more evidence that legalizing hard drugs was a really really huge stupid move?
Let’s recap: Portland legalized drugs. I thought Portland thought drugs were good ? I love how they’re acting like they just found these statistics out now and they weren’t available before this. At least they were able to find the one person who believed this actually helped them.
This is the result of bad actions committed by politicians.
Portland, Philly and San Fran have become the most dangerous and violent cities in America by far.
Portland is my hometown. It wasn’t like that 10 years ago. It is so sad…
This is my experience: I had a kidney stone in the early 90’s and went to the ER. They put in an IV and gave me fentanyl. I literally thought I was going to die! I felt a cold feeling going up from my feet and legs through my body. I thought, “When it gets to my head, I am going to die!” The feeling started to go away when a nurse came back with another syringe. I said, “Please, no more of that!” She said, “I will just give you half.” A lie: they never give you half an injection. I went through the feeling again, terrified I was going to die! Finally, it subsided, and I said, “I am leaving.” They gave me a referral to a urologist. That is in my medical record now on a red sticker on the file folder: “NO FENTANYL.” That is some SCARY, nasty stuff.

The states voters and legislator voted for this.
THEY WANTED IT
I rest my case.
They are trash.
Ever since they decriminalized drugs here in Portland… drug addiction increased.
When I get home and check my shoes for poo which I have to do a lot more often now, sometimes it’s not canine, but human.
My local grocery store now has more security guards than cashiers
Legal drugs. What did they think would happen……i mean really…..we need new smart decent leaders folks…..now
They legalized drugs there. How can there be a problem if no one is breaking the law?
Exactly my point.
I would be interested in hearing the all-inclusive cost to taxpayers from that insane move to legalize drugs. And it is clear what the impact has been on the quality of life for those hard working, law abiding, tax paying citizens who must live in this nightmare. And then we are expected to have and use Narcan???? Are you out of your mind, govt officials?
“Legalize drugs and that will fix everything” 🙁 🙁 🙁
Politicians are the scum of the earth..
Drug emergency????? Does that mean that they’re running out of the dangerous drugs they legalized locally??
All these state and local politicians that are declaring these emergencies will NEVER utter the words, “This is our fault, we did this, we’re sorry.” Cause and blame is 100% something that needs to be discussed – but they will never.
This is what happens when one or two counties in your state hold the majority of the vote
The majority of Oregon is embarrassed and shamed of Portland and we never thought the decriminalization of drugs was such a good idea
That’s good, though the district attorneys of several counties in this state are currently in a lawsuit to turn over the egregious living conditions. Multnoma county has forced the rest of us to live in.
It looks like the gov needs to eliminate people.

I don’t think they can stop this mess.
In San Fran is the same. You can’t walk on the streets and avoid this spectacle.
