摘要

本文评估了在药物治疗服务相对较差的情况下，药物非刑事化对非故意药物过量死亡的因果影响。使用合成控制方法，我发现当俄勒冈州在2021年2月将少量毒品合法化时，它在2021年导致俄勒冈州额外发生182例非故意药物过量死亡。这意味着，如果俄勒冈州没有将毒品合法化，预计非故意药物过量死亡人数将增加23%。

Does drug decriminalization increase unintentional drug overdose deaths?

This paper evaluates the causal effect of drug decriminalization on unintentional drug overdose deaths in a context with relatively poor access to drug treatment services. Using the synthetic control method, I find that when Oregon decriminalized small amounts of drugs in February 2021, it caused 182 additional unintentional drug overdose deaths to occur in Oregon in 2021. This represents a 23% increase over the number of unintentional drug overdose deaths predicted if Oregon had not decriminalized drugs.
