Portugal is Winning the War on Drugs by Decriminalizing Them
by Ewao
Merely the simple thought of at least decriminalizing, rather then legalizing, raises doubts and controversia amongst the conservatives that jump to hasty conclusions, for instance, they fear it would mean the downfall of society and the irreversible tearing apart of the fabric of morality, due to a most certain sky-rocketting drug abuse.
But if we take a closer look at the few countries in the world that decriminalized and even legalized at least marijuana, the reality is a totally different one, of course with minor exceptions.
In countries like Portugal, where the possession of a certain quantity of weed, cocaine, or even heroin, is not considered a crime or any other type of felony, but a public health issue, the quality of life has increased substantially.
“If you make any attractive commodity available at lower cost, you will have more users. Anything like legalizing drugs is preposterous — no less ridiculous than trying to lock up every offender,” said former Office of National Drug Control Policy deputy director Thomas McLellan
For a long time, Portugal carried a fierce war against drugs and televisions transmitted harsh advertisements associating drug use with the worst humanity is capable of. The outspread hard-drug use originated from the revolution in 1974.
