Interesting comment...

Note the Portuguese example is not without regulations that I doubt many here would like, too.

"The police still search people for drugs," Goulão points out. Hashish, cocaine, ecstasy -- Portuguese police still seize and destroy all these substances.

Before doing so, though, they first weigh the drugs and consult the official table with the list of 10-day limits. Anyone possessing drugs in excess of these amounts is treated as a dealer and charged in court. Anyone with less than the limit is told to report to a body known as a "warning commission on drug addiction" within the next 72 hours.

"We haven't found some miracle cure," Goulão says. Still, taking stock after nearly 12 years, his conclusion is, "Decriminalization hasn't made the problem worse." Nor has it made it better?

It is not a cheap exercise...

"At the moment, Goulão's greatest concern is the Portuguese government's austerity policies in the wake of the euro crisis. Decriminalization is pointless, he says, without being accompanied by prevention programs, drug clinics and social work conducted directly on the streets. Before the euro crisis, Portugal spent €75 million ($98 million) annually on its anti-drug programs. So far, Goulão has only seen a couple million cut from his programs, but if the crisis in the country grows worse, at some point there may no longer be enough money"

And I'm sure you users believe this guy doesn't know what he is talking about either...

"Pinto Coelho is a doctor too. He has run rehab centers and written books about addiction. Now he's at odds with former colleagues and with "the system," as he says."

That question mark suggests 'definitely' is a bit of a stretch.

Again, cost of preventative, anti-drug programs doesn't reflect the actual money it may save.

Making your comment that "It definitely doesn't save any money or solve the gang problem." completely without factual backing. Ed, you have to learn to read with comprehension instead of just reading what you want to hear.

It's decriminalization, not legalization so of course the cops still search people, I would expect that to not change and the interviews would go a long way towards helping those that use to excess.

The cost is obvious, like in any healthcare situation, helping those who are sick costs money. (it also costs to see them in court and lock them up and not helping them surely increases chances of reoffending) and it's the euro crisis that threatens their funding, not some kind of drug induced crisis.

It seems to me Pinto Coelho doesn't know what he's talking about although everytime I see his name it comes up in articles that support the opposite view to his which likely effects the quality of his arguments that I am exposed to.

That's not what he's been programmed to do.

Why is it such an interesting comment? Food is a drug for some people, coffee, people who drink alcohol (not alcoholics) etc... Nothing much interesting about it other than it describes a wide range of user groups. I think you'll find that's a label to appease the fascists of this world.

As for the regulations... I reckon they should go even further, hence legalisation. By all means try to encourage "addicts" to go into rehab programs as any drug can be addictive, but don't hang your hopes on it. If the programs are available, then they only have themselves to blame should they do something stupid. I have no qualms with being tested at work providing the tests are measuring if I have taken anything within say 6(ish) hours.

It's cheaper to legalise... and you'll likely end up with the same is it or is it not working questions. I say this because decriminalisation does not stop you from taking the drugs. I find it moderately amusing that they ended up in a situation where being caught with drugs in your pocket leads to being processed through the system etc... Primarily because the person may well have never been stopped, yet all of a sudden the person will be labelled sick. I reckon that probably sums up many of the mature brigade and plenty of the young brigade. After all, we aren't out to get hammered and we aren't constantly hammered. As has been mentioned, where some have a couple of drinks at the end of the day (alcohol is a drug), others have a wee toot. Tagging them as sick is placation, no more, no less. Legalisation will save on fuckloads of cash and should generate some in return.

@Pinto Coelho. He wants a drug free world and is the last of the great dissenters. That should tell you something. No doubt he understands addiction very well, but saying "Pinto Coelho wants his country to return to normalcy, in the form of the tough war on drugs". Normalcy? Everything was normal before him and his prehistoric cohorts banned the substances back ion the day. And all because they want to save people from themselves, oh and to stop the hemp industry. It's a noble sentiment, but it is an unwanted one on my count, and likely many others too. When do we get to exercise our choice?
