USA FLIP

Flip Addiction Out of The Criminal Justice System and Into The Primary Care System! USA, we arrest a user every 25 seconds. Seattle Never. Portugal Never. Users Rights are Human Rights in Portugal.

Portugal OD Deaths down 90% in 6 years. 1999 – 400 Deaths. 2007 – 13 Deaths. 2018 – 34 Deaths. Treatment Not Jail! It does not make sense to put sick people in jail and fine them and give them a record. Stop Arresting Users and Get Them Help Early On! It Works! The Numbers Don’t Lie.

Portugal invites users into treatment. 83% Accept Treatment. Only 5% return before the Dissuasion Commission.

Oregon Might Be The First State To Decriminalize Drugs

Criminalization of simple drug possession of small amounts of all drugs by changing the penalties from felonies and misdemeanors to a $100 administrative fine. The initiative would also use excess tax money from the sale of legal marijuana to fund a new drug treatment, recovery and harm reduction program outside of the criminal justice system. The fine could be waived if the recipient chooses to undergo a voluntary treatment assessment under the new system. Taken from the successful Portugal Model.
