Urging Oregonians to avoid psychoactive drug use except for legitimate medical purposes.

SCR 202 is a non-binding concurrent resolution urging Oregonians to avoid psychoactive drugs (like marijuana, fentanyl, heroin, meth, and cocaine) except for legitimate medical purposes. It specifically clarifies that Oregon's licensing of marijuana facilities by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission does not constitute state endorsement of recreational use. The resolution cites rising drug-impaired driving fatalities (e.g., from 56 to 188 fatal crashes linked to psychoactive drugs since 2015) to support its recommendation. It directly addresses all Oregon residents and emphasizes that current laws criminalize small drug possessions, while the state does not approve recreational use.
