Are you actually aware of what Portuguese drug policy is like, or are you just going by the popular North American misconception that they just decriminalized everything and called it a day?
The actual Portuguese drug policy is draconian in a way that would be unimaginable in the US or Canada. The decriminalization is only a small part of it.
