You can say that opiate users are junkie scum who are a burden to society, but that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. With drugs illegal, they become expensive and push drug addicts into poverty, and also sponsor illegal organizations. If drugs were legal, the crime rate in the country would drop next to nothing

Oh I see it's society's fault that you're a flaky backstabbing asswipe devoid of any concept of loyalty

Contrary to the expectations of the new law’s critics, drug use did not skyrocket in the years following decriminalization – actually it stabilized or declined among young people, in accordance with the patterns and trends of other European countries.

What is even more important, there was a significant reduction in drug-related deaths and disease, not to mention financial and human resource savings for the law enforcement bodies. Prior to decriminalisation, Portugal was a Catholic-Conservative country with a short history of democracy, the prevalence of injecting drug use was very high, as well as the rate of new HIV transmissions.

The Portuguese experience demonstrates that decriminalisation and harm reduction programs do not only work in rich countries with well-established democracies like Holland. In addition, the Portuguese decriminalisation model did not only abolish penalties against drug users but also created a diversion system: a commission made up of three people, a doctor, a social worker and a lawyer decides if the offender should be sanctioned or not. We can now see that this model serves as an effective social filter of problematic and non-problematic drug use.

I don;t care what worked in portugal. I care that a backstabbing asshole is trying to tell me that doing drugs doesn't turn people into backstabbing assholes. You're essentially trying very hard to add hypocrite to the list of names I can call you.
