Oregon became the first state to decriminalize drugs like meth, cocaine and heroin this past election through Measure 110. The decision does not legalize these drugs, but supporters say it can help lead people away from jail and into treatment.“We work primarily with folks who are injecting heroin and methamphetamines,” Haven Wheelock said. She runs drug user health services at medical clinic Outside In, in Portland. “It’s really about engaging people who are using substances and helping to give them tools to be happy, healthy and hopefully survive.”One of the programs they provide is a syringe exchange service, to give users clean needles and materials to use.“I have seen for decades how our current system of criminalizing drug use and addiction has really damaged lives and harmed people I care about,” she said.That system is changing. “Most of the clients I've had the opportunity to talk to about this really have this sense of relief, honestly,” Wheelock said. “The measure effectively decriminalizes personal use amounts of substances as well as provides funding for addiction and recovery support services across the state of Oregon.”However, decriminalization is different from legalization.“Decriminalization is basically making something so that it is no longer a criminal offense if you were to do it, it is still seen as a violation,” said Christopher Campbell, an Assistant Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Portland State University. “Full blown legalization is more like there is no violation whatsoever associated with it, within certain degrees.”With decriminalization, instead of going to jail for having personal amounts of a drug on you, “you have a choice then of a 0 fine, or you take this chemical dependent screener assessment that determines if you are a good candidate for treatment,” Campbell explained.This puts the focus on treatment, not jail.“If you have fewer arrests based on possession, you're going to have fewer people in pre-trial detention,” Campbell said. “So you'll have fewer people going to prison. It’s kind of a chain reaction.”In many states across the U.S., personal use possession of drugs like these is a felony offense. Back in 2017, the Oregon governor signed a bill making it a misdemeanor.“I don't think it’s going to dramatically decrease the prison population. It might decrease it a little bit. I think the biggest one we’ve seen was felony to misdemeanor,” Campbell said.The impacts of a drug-related felony charge is something Bobby Byrd has experienced his whole life.“For the small possession of drugs,” Byrd explained. “That conviction ruined my life in a lot of ways. Kept me from getting jobs. Kept me from getting apartments.”Byrd was arrested decades ago in the 1990s.“I know this may not be able to help my past, but I don't want what happened to me to happen to anybody else in their future,” he said. “People don’t need punishment for their addiction, people need help for their addiction.”That’s exactly why he’s been vocal in his backing of Measure 110. The measure is also paving a path for easier access to treatment.“You won't have to have gotten in trouble in order to access these services,” Wheelock said.“Oregon has kind of been primed for this. We’ve been very much on this progressive slate,” Campbell said.From the first to decriminalize marijuana in 1973, to decriminalizing most other drugs, Oregon has paved the path to a lot of drug-related policy. Campbell said if it does what it intends, increase treatment and decrease use, other states may look to Oregon.“I think there's a good chance that a lot of states will be interested in this,” he said. 3669

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) - The Oceanside City Council just gave preliminary approval to a plan that would use city development fees as a way to provide homebuyers help with their down payments.City Councilman Christopher Rodriguez presented the idea, which he calls the Affordable Market Purchase Program (AMPP)."It's a win-win," says Rodriguez. "And it's the fastest way, in my opinion, to creating home ownership."Under the plan, people could borrow up to 20% of the home's asking price from the city. But, it can only be used on single-family homes up to 0,000 or multi-family units (townhomes and condos) up to 0,000. The money comes from the city's "In-Lieu" fund. That money is a fee developers pay to the city when they don't include the required affordable housing in their project.Rodriguez says the city currently has about .7 million in the fund."Every million dollars could help 14 people with down payments," he explains.To qualify, people need to be first-time homebuyers who make less than 115% of the county's median income. That's around ,000 a year for a family of 4.They have to have been either living in Oceanside for a year or working in Oceanside for six months.The program is also available to veterans or seniors who are over 65 or over 55 but currently living in an Oceanside mobile home park.Applicants must also chip in at least 1% of the home's value as their down payment.Rodriguez says this program can help people who otherwise wouldn't be able to buy a home because they can't save for a large enough down payment."A family that is struggling to make ends meet and pay rent and unable to save, now they're able to use a program like this," he says.The loan from the city would be repaid when the home is sold again, or when there's a title transfer, first mortgage repayment, or in 30 years.In addition to the full cost of the loan, the city would also get 25% of the appreciated value of the home. That money would go back into the fund to help more people."It's unique, it's relevant, and our community desperately needs opportunity," says Rodriguez.He adds that this could help businesses retain employees. Right now, many people who work in Oceanside live 20-30 minutes away. Rodriguez says getting them to buy homes in town would make them more effective as employees and more likely to stay in their current jobs.The City Council gave the plan a preliminary approval at Wednesday night's meeting. Now city staff will draft a formal proposal. Rodriguez hopes to present it to the full Council in June. 2558

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGTV) - Smoke from wildfires had many California residents staying indoors Sunday but the Los Angeles Chargers and Oakland Raiders game carried on at the Oakland Coliseum. The Air Quality Index for much of San Francisco and the surrounding areas was in the Environmental Protection Agency’s “red” zone, indicating the air was unhealthy to breathe.Fans and coaches donned masks while players were forced to inhale the smoke on the field. The NFL had monitored the situation but the AQI never got near 200, the level where the game would have needed to be moved, the Associated Press reported.Philip Rivers led the Chargers to a sixth straight win, defeating the Raiders 20-6.RELATED: Interactive Maps: Woolsey?and Hill Fires / Interactive Map: Camp FireThe EPA warning said people with heart or lung disease, older adults and children should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion.A smoke advisory remained in effect Sunday due to the Woolsey Fire, which was causing unhealthy air quality affecting everyone in areas directly impacted by smoke, including coastal Los Angeles County, the San Fernando Valley, the Santa Clarita Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, the San Gabriel Mountains and the Pomona-Walnut Valley.The South Coast Air Quality Management District said western winds brought unhealthful levels of smoke and ash particulate into most of the South Coast Air Basin, which includes Orange County and non-desert areas of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, overnight. However, on Sunday morning, Santa Ana winds from the northeast had started to push smoke away from southern Orange and Riverside counties and were expected to continue to alleviate conditions in the northern San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles metro area through the day and into Monday.RELATED: Despite fires, San Diego's air quality remains favorableSmoke was expected to remain at unhealthy levels closest to the fire, in the western San Fernando Valley and northwest coastal Los Angeles County.``It is difficult to tell where ash or soot from a fire will go, or how winds will affect the level of dust particles in the air, so we ask everyone to be aware of their immediate environment and to take actions to safeguard their health,'' said Dr. Muntu Davis, health officer for Los Angeles County, in an earlier statement.Wildfire smoke is a mixture of small particles, gases and water vapor, and the primary health concern is the small particles, which can cause burning eyes, runny nose, scratchy throat, headaches and bronchitis, health officials said. In people with sensitive conditions, the particles can cause difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, fatigue, and/or chest pain.City News Service contributed to this report. 2754
