A couple of years ago Oregon stopped going after people for possession of drugs, effectively ending most avenues of enforcement.

https://news.yahoo.com/oregon-governor-signs-bill-...

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon's Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek on Monday signed into law a bill that recriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, ending a first-in-the-nation experiment with decriminalization that was hobbled by implementation issues.

The new law rolls back a 2020 voter-approved measure by making so-called personal use possession a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail.

It wasn’t hobbled by “implementation issues” it was hobbled by Forseen Consequences…such as an explosion of drug use and a big rise in overdoses.

Yes it was hobbled and your article explains it. They intended to use revenue from marijuana sales to fund rehabs, but failed to get that going. So now they must have it going as rehab is offered as an alternative to six months in jail. It's a mild recriminalization, six months, intending to fill rehabs, but they are late with it. They should look at Singapore's rehabs.
