The lie isn't that Portugal has a good approach, the lie is that places like SF are emulating Portugal. SF is anarchy, and an insult to Portugal, and an immoral horror show for addicts. The lie is that there are no coercive policies in Portugal for drug addicts. It is not all treated like mental health, especially in the US. Public drug use is illegal, police enforce it, and addicts who are arrested can be jailed if they have more than 10 days personal supply, and they can be coerced in to treatment. Open drug scenes like we have in San Francisco are not all allowed.
