The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, co-founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, donated $500,000 on Oct. 1 to Ballot Measure 110, which seeks to decriminalize possession of some hard drugs in Oregon.
The measure would also establish a drug addiction treatment and recovery program.
The Chan Zuckerberg donations raise Ballot Measure 110's cash contributions to $1.4 million. In contrast, the ballot's opponents have raised $12,800 in cash contributions and secured a $40,100 loan.
According to the Oregon secretary of state website, this appears to be the first time the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has contributed to an Oregon race or ballot measure. Earlier this year, the group gave a combined $5.5 million to two California ballot measures.
If it passes in November, Measure 110 will make possession of a controlled substance no more than a class E violation, with a maximum fine of $100. The drugs that would be effectively decriminalized include heroin (1 gram or less), cocaine (2 grams or less), methamphetamine (2 grams or less), MDMA (less than 1 gram or five pills), LSD (less than 40 user units), psilocybin (less than 12 grams), methadone (less than 40 user units) and oxycodone (less than 40 pills, tablets or capsules). It would also establish a drug treatment plan funded in part by the state's cannabis tax.
Rich Liberals that dont have to deal with the repercussions of thier actions
Rich liberals likely doing what their ChiCom masters have instructed.
What a neat little package - legalize drugs AND establish addiction recovery centers all in one!
All I need now is a divorce lawyer and a shopping cart for when I lose my family and my home!
If someone with chronic pain becomes addicted to opiates because a Dr. over medicated them, then they should not go to jail.
If Zuckerberg really wants to set up rehabilitaion programs then good on him.
Unfortunately, everything these oligarch assholes do stinks to high heaven.
While I support some decriminalization, experience in San Francisco has shown it should not be statewide.
Self-sustaining dope user compounds in rural counties might be possible.
I have come across many addicts via a friend in DC.
Junkies fall off the “recovery” wagon easily.
And just how will the legal amounts become available?
Mail order from China?
Anything to ADVANCE THE CHICOM AGENDA TO WEAKEN AMERICA by all possible means.
Way to go Mark... what a patriot. /sarc
“Rich liberals likely doing what their ChiCom masters have instructed”.
And consider such “thinking” started effortlessly with marijuana...
The last thing Oregon needs is more drugs.
My female friend living in Portland has given up dating as all the single men are drug users.
Drug decriminalization worked out so well for California and other doper states needle parks to ensue and mass homeless camps outhouse side walks more taxes to clean it up but never happens.......................................................
