TIL that Portugal did a radical experiment against addiction by decriminalizing all drugs and used the anti-drug budget on job programs and services to connect addicted people with their community. 10 years later drug deaths fell by 80% and heroin addiction by 50%.

It’s almost as if focusing on eradicating the factors that drive people to addiction, rather than criminalizing the addiction itself, has a better outcome. who would’ve guessed 🤔🤔🤔

OKAY WAIT I HAVE TO ADD SOMETHING.

One of the other consequences is that Lisbon now does have a drug problem… with fake drugs. Seriously. People are hawking flour as ‘cocaine’ and ground bay leaves as ‘hashish’ to tourists on the street. The police have run anti-bay-leaf campaigns, but they can’t arrest these dealers because the items they’re selling are perfectly legal, and technically if a tourist is stupid enough to buy flour and think it’s cocaine, that’s their own fault.

crazy thang is whenever someone makes a post talkng about how xyz thing annoys them someone will always go ‘oh so we’re not even allowed to do [thing] anymore??’ like no you literally can. that person just will not like you. if that is enough to stop you then its not that youre not allowed its that you are not capable of existing outside of the approval of others

why are you asking for permission. begging? are you a dog or a man
