Donald Morrison: Author of “American Rehab”
from Nonfiction with Callie Hitchcock · host Callie Hitchcock
Today’s guest is journalist Donald Morrison talking with us about his article “American Rehab” published in the most recent June issue of The Baffler. This article is about Measure 110 which was passed in November 2020 in Oregon and was the most liberal drug law in the country in US history, decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of drugs including marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl. The law would also funnel the money from legislative appropriations, savings from reductions in arrests, and marijuana tax revenue into harm reduction services and treatment centers. Donald’s article follows up with what has happened in Oregon since the passing of this law, and he talks about his own experience in Portland with what services helped him when he got sober. “American Rehab” Donald Morrison’s Twitter
