The title pretty much says it all. Portugal decriminalized possession of ALL drugs 11 years ago, and now the rate of addiction has been halved.
Oh, also a drop on overdosing rates and STDs related to drug use.
Shocking, that handling drug use in a more reasonable fashion would actually have positive results.

. Suppliers of dealers should get a mandatory prison sentence of at least 5 years, depending on their other crimes amount of sales, and duration in the business, and maybe less total time if they give info on their suppliers. Producers should get lengthy prison sentences, depending on what drugs they have produced and how long they have been in the business. NO REDUCED BARGAINED SENTENCES other than what I've outlined. And then probation for the same length of sentence if they ever get out. For casual users, probation for at least two years depending on their cooperation.
