Imagine you were offered the options of either going to jail or being committed in a mental hospital for the crime of... consuming alcohol (back during the Prohibition).
- gruseom 15y agoStraw man. Nobody's proposing anything of the sort.
- icebraining 15y agoTreatment here in Portugal is not in a mental institution. I personally visited people recovering from heroine addiction, and it's basically a big house in a rural area in the outskirts of the city where they live, work (they grow their own vegetables, cook, clean, etc) and have therapy sessions. More importantly, you can leave whenever you want - the place isn't closed down. You can just open the gate and walk out.
