with our addiction crisis. always meant to deal with the war on drugs. >> because it shifts $300 million from cannabis tax revenue it can't be used to expand treatment beds. the money can only go for so-called harm reduction. things like needle exchange, peer counseling and supportive housing and narcan to revive someone having an overdose. but even that is not working very well. last year there were 1069 overdose deaths in oregon. 41% increase and all-time high for the state. 25% higher than the national jump. only 100 people have called a hotline designed to get them into services. very few have gotten into treatment which is completely voluntary. a former assistance at two federal drug czars is not surprised. >> it is predictable, was predicted and now unfortunately is coming to pass in front of our eyes. it is a tragedy and a self-inflicted wound, i fear. it is the wrong path.

Special Report With Bret Baier

>> measure 110 shifted $300 million of cannabis tax revenue to fund services. none of the money is going to expand treatment beds. >> it was never designed to reduce our addiction rate. so it was never designed to deal with our addiction crisis. it was always meant to deal with the war on drugs. >> the money is going toward harm reduction. things like needle exchange, pierre counseling, support of housing and narcan to revive a person who is overdosing. >> i don't think that it's just about getting folks into treatment. you can't save somebody if they overdose and die. >> well, even that effort has failed. drug overdose deaths in oregon soared 41% since decriminalization and that's much higher than the national rate which is up 16% largely due to fentanyl. shannon? >> shannon: dan springer, thank you very much. ♪ ♪ >> shannon: experts say the effect from massive rain, snow melt and flooding may forever change historic yellow stone

>> first off, i need an unlimited supply of narcan, because i have to keep people alive before i can get them long-term treatment. >> narcan still sort of feeds the addiction somewhat? >> some people say that. i don't see it that way because you have to be alive to get into long-term treatment. so if i have to narcan you multiple times, that's what we need to do. >> so your ecstatic walgreens is going to sell it. >> absolutely. absolutely ecstatic. >> what else? >> i would ask for medically assisted detox and certainly ask for more treatment beds. >> what gives you hope? >> what gives me hope? we have plenty of people in our town that are in long-term recovery. and they are healthy, happy, tax-paying citizens. >> and it's worked? >> it has worked. people do recover. and i feel like we do need to focus on the positives that we are experiencing daily. >> chief rader, thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> no, no, no, thank you for everything that you're doing, fighting on the front lines. that's public service. >> appreciate it. >> by the way, the documentary

activity in terms of sales and marketing in this company it was sickening. we are now looking at all of the companies that were aggressively involved in sales and marketing in the opioid industry, and now we've expanded our investigation into the big three distributors and the other major distributors of opioids around the country. we've got over 1.5 million pages of documents we've already obtained from these companies and we are in the process of continuing to work through them and we'll issue reports as we go along. >> what more needs to be done? what more powers does law enforcement need or what regulations does the dea need in order for this opioid epidemic to at least be hobbled a bit? >> well, we need a variety of things. speaking as a former prosecutor, we need to support law enforcement on the front lines. we need to make sure we have enough treatment and prevention moibs out the monies out there, especially treatment beds. we need border patrol officers, which are the one who's are in the ports. that's where a lot of these drugs are coming through.

those federal funds flow into our communities for more treatment beds and for more preventive measures. that's what i had hoped to hear. >> nobody -- i can't imagine all the different things you've thought about what this could have done differently, this could have done differently. you want to share your experiences. what would you tell the president if he asked you, okay, mayor barry, tell me the tools you wish you now would have had as a parent, let alone as a mayor? what would you tell him? >> sure. well, first, as maximum's mom, it was really important for us to be able to have access to a treatment bed. and max did go to rehab last sum. so we were able to make that happen for our child, but there so so many children out there that need those treatment beds. and declaring this a federal emergency would make that happen. so those are the kinds of things that i think we can be doing as a community, and i'd love to see us move in that direction. >> what is the -- what's the national police department doing as they deal with this? i mean, every police department

i think as a community we're not ever going to get in front of this epidemic if we aren't actually having these very frank conversations about what's killing our children. >> during the campaign, president trump promised more federal resources to combat the opioid crisis, more money for opioid treatment services, he promised to speed up fda approval for drug treatment to stop drugs across the border. have you seen any progress? >> we need the federal government to help us. we in nashville have been able to equip our police officers with a lifesaver if admin administered, but there are communities out there who don't have the resources we do. it's also about treatment beds and we need more of those. i hope president trump, with his new report, will be very focused on making sure those resources flow into communities. >> as you know, a lot of -- and i don't know, and you don't know if max died because of an opioid overdose, but a lot of the
