I respect what Portugal did, but lefty American politicians are too soft when it comes to drug dealers and others. Decriminalization for drug use doesn't work in the U.S., just look at SF.

While I appreciate your viewpoint, I believe it is essential to consider alternative perspectives on the issue. Portugal's approach to decriminalizing drug use has demonstrated positive outcomes, such as reduced overdose rates and increased access to treatment. By prioritizing harm reduction instead of criminalization, individuals are more likely to seek help without fear of legal consequences. Rather than perpetuating a punitive approach, focusing on rehabilitation and support systems can benefit both drug users and society as a whole. It is crucial to acknowledge the value of evidence-based strategies that prioritize public safety and well-being.

Decriminalization promotes harm reduction and access to treatment, enhancing public safety.
