And on Thursday, those behind the 計画／陰謀 認める that they had underestimated the 成果／努力 要求するd to 分配するd the $300 million in 基金s for the program, and only $40 million has been spent.?

'So 明確に, if we were to do it over again, I would have asked for many more staff much quicker in the 過程,' said Steve Allen, Oregon's behavioral health director.?

'We were just under-資源d to be able to support this 成果／努力, underestimated the work that was 伴う／関わるd in supporting something that looked like this and partly we didn't fully understand it until we were in the middle of it.'

Oregon 公式に became the first US 明言する／公表する to decriminalize 所有／入手 of small 量s of all 麻薬s - 含むing? ヘロイン, methamphetamine and コカイン

The 投票（する） 手段 redirected millions of dollars in 税金 歳入 from the 明言する／公表する's 合法的な マリファナ 産業 to 治療.?

But 使用／適用s for 基金ing stacked up after 明言する／公表する 公式の／役人s underestimated the work 要求するd to vet them and get the money out the door, 公式の／役人s 証言するd on Thursday before the House 暫定的な 委員会 on Behavioral Health.?

Allen, who 作品 for the Oregon Health 当局, 主張するd the 計画／陰謀 has strong 可能性のある, 説 公式の／役人s have 'over-relied on 伝統的な 治療.'

'The service array, the types of services that are 含むd, the approach, the 害（を与える） 削減, etc., are all designed by people who have experienced this and have, I think, some really 利益／興味ing, good ideas about what these service systems せねばならない look like,' he said.?

'So it's an 実験. I think we'll know more in a few years.'

Yet Lily Morgan, a 共和国の／共和党の 明言する／公表する 政治家，政治屋 代表するing 認めるs Pass, said lives are 存在 lost while the 明言する／公表する waits for the 投票（する） 手段 to have a 肯定的な 影響.

'Director, you've について言及するd a couple of times that you're waiting to see - and yet we have overdoses 増加するing at 激烈な 率s,' she said.

'In my community, a 700 パーセント 増加する in overdoses and a 120 パーセント 増加する in deaths.

'How long do we wait before we have an 衝撃 that we're saving lives?'

国務長官 Shemia Fagan appeared before the 委員会, and 述べるd her mother's struggles with ヘロイン and methamphetamine 中毒 before she 回復するd.?

Fagan said Oregon remains in a 麻薬 乱用 危機, にもかかわらず the 投票（する） 手段.

'When the 投票者s of Oregon passed 手段 110, we did so because it was a change of 政策 in Oregon to 改善する the lives of people, to 改善する our communities,' Fagan said.?

'And in the years since, we 港／避難所't seen that play out.

'Instead, in many communities in Oregon, we've seen the problem with 麻薬 中毒 get worse.'

所有／入手 of hard 麻薬s was decriminalized under a 投票（する） 手段 that Oregon 投票者s passed by a wide 利ざや in November 2020.? Pictured: Volunteers?配達する boxes 含む／封じ込めるing 調印するd 嘆願（書）s in 好意 of the 手段 to the Oregon 国務長官's office in June 2020?

Allen 定評のある there has been a '劇の' 増加する in overdoses and overdose deaths statewide and せいにするd much of the 原因（となる） to the 最近の arrival of methamphetamine laced with fentanyl - a synthetic opioid that is so powerful that a tiny 量 can kill - and illicit pills 含む／封じ込めるing fentanyl.

Steve Allen,?Oregon's behavioral health director, on Thursday 供給するd an update on the 計画／陰謀, 説 it had 可能性のある but still needed 開発

That 追加するs 緊急 to the 成果／努力 to 供給する 治療 services and 害（を与える） 削減, like 医薬 to 扱う／治療する overdoses and needle 交流s, that the 手段 also 支払う／賃金s for, he said.?

支持するs point out that the services are 利用できる to anyone in Oregon, not just those who were 特記する／引用するd for 所有／入手.

'Getting these 資源s out to the community is incredibly important - not just the 害（を与える） 削減 資源s, but people who can support folks who are at 危険 for overdose,' Allen said.?

'So time is of the essence.'

Ian Green, an audits 経営者／支配人, said the 投票（する） 手段 欠如（する）d clarity around 役割s of the health 当局 and the Oversight and Accountability 会議 that were 設立するd.

That '与える／捧げるd to 延期するs, 混乱s and 緊張するd relations,' Green said.?

He also 非難するd the health 当局 for not always adequately support ing the 会議.?

会議 co-議長，司会を務める Ron Williams said most of the 利用できる 基金s still 港／避難所't been 解放（する）d.

'I feel these challenges can be 打ち勝つ and 訂正するd with 審議する／熟考する, intentional, 焦点（を合わせる）d 成果／努力 and 勇敢な, 解答-oriented conversations,' Williams said.

The health 当局 said $40 million in 基金s have been 支出するd.

But about $265 million 始める，決める aside for the 2021-23 biennium still hasn't been spent, said Devon Downeysmith, spokeswoman for the Health 司法（官） 回復 同盟.?
