Do You Believe We Should Decriminalize All Drug Use the Way Portugal Does?
Question by No Chance Without Thor: Do you believe we should decriminalize all drug use the way Portugal does?
Portugal decriminalized all drug use and they have now effectively cut all drug addiction in half and no longer sends drug users to prison. Instead, drug abuse is treated like the health problem that it actually is.
I wish America would do this, but we have too many cartel lobbyists to make sure we don’t do something that makes sense.

Sure.
But you realize we can’t do that in the US because we have to protect everyone from themselves.
