Last summer Portugal released a bunch of information about its decision to legalize all drugs 11 (was 10 at the time of the report) years ago. Crime, addiction, and traffic were all down and rehabilitation rates (courts can mandate rehab but not prison) were way up. The U.S. certainly isn't going to be a leader here, but here's to hoping it will eventually be a follower.
- dkl 14y agoLegalize != decriminalize. Portugal did the latter.
- gcb 14y agoif it's not criminalized how is it still illegal?
- BlackNapoleon 14y agoI have a personal theory that many countries want to do this and eventually legalize. I think they're following these experiments closely and developing policy along these lines.
