me too. also i was like 19 when i felt this way so i'll use that as an excuse.
Arguably, Oregon did two things here.
1) they decriminalized
2) they stopped enforcing a bunch of other laws regardless vagrancy, public decency, and the like.
You don't necessarily have to do #2 after allowing #1. There's no reason for that to be a package deal.
Consider smoking.
It's allowed legally
It's not allowed everywhere you go. The drug users had more leeway than smokers

This. And 3) they didn't implement improved access to treatment, and hell id even be in favor of enforcing treatment.

As of a March 2019 report — prior to Measure 110 — there were 13 withdrawal management facilities licensed with the Oregon Health Authority, for a total of 201 beds. Those facilities were located in just nine of Oregon's 36 counties.
That's just sad. 13 facilities for the entire state. Hell NELA probably has at least that (plus a thriving recovery community) and plenty of sober houses. Simply decriminalizing without offering access to treatment and on top of that stopping enforcement of other laws is a recipe for disaster that anyone should have been able to see coming
