YouTube Video: "Oregon Becomes First State In Nation To Decriminalize Most Drugs | NBC News NOW".
Oregon has decriminalized the possession of most drugs. The video above discusses that change.
• Should we decriminalize minor possession of drugs? Why or why not? Consider how much it costs to prosecute and incarcerate violators, the consequences of criminal convictions, whether punishment is an effective deterrent, who is being harmed by drug use, and any other factors you think are relevant and include them in the discussion.
• Do you think mandatory treatment/rehab is a good alternative? Why or why not?
