whats the story with portugal?
Portugal was the darling and the model touted in the Western world by the media and scientist. They decriminalized drugs, but they were still illegal. They also shifted drug control from the Justice department to the Health department along with introducing a guaranteed minimum income.
It was a success for the first 15 years or so, but recently it has taken a turn for the worst. Here's a short article talking about the pros and cons: https://dpnsee.org/2021/04/15/portugals-approach-to-drug-policy-what-works-and-what-does-not/
So, I can totally buy that a successful strategy needs a more comprehensive approach than just "Legalize it, duuude!" That said, your source says things were working really well for a while, then they apparently got cocky or something and they lost the secret sauce for some reason.
Life anywhere is fucking complicated and mulitfactorial as hell. So, to quote you, Portugal had a huge success and decrease in its drug problems, starting in 2001 and then running into problems about 15 years later.
Oh, you mean right about when motherfucking hordes of migrant savages started flooding into Europe?
But moreover, your source says it got almost as bad as it used to be, which in no way supports your claim of "worst". Things aren't even worse, despite Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton bombing the fuck out of Libya and opening the dindu floodgates in the meantime.
I'm not advocating necessarily for the policies in the OP, which have been implemented cack-handedly in a handful of prog shitholes, but that's not what Portugal did that worked.
The point of the drug war was to get us OK with living in a prison state. It's just programming we need to chuck. We should absolutely look at how those ten other countries have been fucking up so we can get it right (LOL cuz we can't even build a wall), but ultimately, yes, drugs are better treated as a disease than a crime.
I get that there is a typo, but it's a common idiom, take a turn for the worse: 1) To worsen, often quickly or suddenly https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/take+a+turn+for+the+worse
but ultimately, yes, drugs are better treated as a disease than a crime.
That's the main point of the article I linked and the study. It's a health issue.
thanks
You know like most systems it can "work" ok for a time with "white" people, then niggers and kikes flood it.
Here's the good news position paper and data.
