Vote NO on Proposition 132

Proposition 132 asks if fentanyl-related crimes should be considered felonies. The proposition would increase sentencing for all fentanyl-related crimes.

The proposition text uses broad language that would treat first-time offenders the same as repeat offenders. Even in the case of unknowing possession, anyone arrested for a fentanyl-related crime could face 8 to 32 years in prison. Proposition 132 does not increase funding for substance abuse or mental health care. Nor does it create provisions to reduce drug use or sales.

Passing Proposition 132 would funnel even more Coloradans into private prisons and perpetuate the criminalization of substance abuse and mental health disorders. It will also pass on extra costs to taxpayers to fund increased prosecution.
