Slippery slope. They can start tightening things down and make it unacceptable lawfully as well as socially.
Portugal after experimenting with permissiveness is tightening down. We can do it too and save people from perdition.
- tiagod 1y agoPortugal is not tightening it down based on data, but based on perceptions. A shift to populism reverting previous progressive changes proves nothing. Also, we didn't experiment with permissiveness, we fixed a heroin crisis that was completely out of control. You have no idea how bad it got before we stopped throwing addicts in jail and started providing them with rehab. Source: I've lived here all my life.
