> Most Western countries don't quite have the culture of political extremism needed to create these conditions. Only 26 years before decriminalizing drugs, Portugal was a right-wing dictatorship with concentration camps and which was waging war on Africa to keep its slave colonies. The '74 revolution brought on two years of heavy left-wing power, during which many feared (and others hoped) it could become a communist state attached to the USSR. There's no lack of culture of political extremism in Portugal.
