Portugal in June 2001 became the first European nation to take the brave step of decriminalizing possession of all drugs within its borders—from marijuana to heroin, and everything in between.

[edited] By freeing its citizens from the fear of prosecution and imprisonment for drug usage, Portugal has dramatically improved its ability to encourage drug addicts to avail themselves of treatment. The resources that were previously devoted to prosecuting and imprisoning drug addicts are now available to provide treatment programs to addicts. The majority of EU states have rates that are double and triple the rate for post-decriminalization Portugal.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Drugs should all be legal, because this doesn't happen.
Right?

An interesting suggestion to stop reading the news.
It's toxic to your health and doesn't improve your life.

Radwaste "logic": We should continue to ban marijuana because a not-yet-clearly-illegal so-called substitute for it is far more harmful.
Meanwhile, thousands of teens outright kill themselves with alcohol every year, but that's no problem because it's legal.
