[quote:Anonymous Coward 2646429:MV8xODI4NjIzXzMwNDcxODQwXzQ5NEZCQjU0] [quote:BRIEF:MV8xODI4NjIzXzMwNDY5NDg1XzY0NUVGOEVD] Where do drug addicts get the money to buy drugs? They steal...theft alone isn't enough to keep them in jail and off the street, but add a drug charge and they can be put away longer...I've had thousands of dollars in both property and money stolen by drug addicts...If they decriminalize drugs, then at least use public executions for thievery... [/quote] there are consequences the supporters aren't considering testing for drugs/alcohol as far as employment would remain in place because they do influence thought and action, mostly away from optimum response towards outright recklessness so you have legal drug users, still under or unemployed the end result(s) remain pretty much the same civil litigation could very well increase for liability cases where "legal" users injure another party it's Pandora's box no matter how you look at it [/quote]

Opponents warned the course that Portugal took would turn the country into a drug abuser's paradise and that usage would soar. 10 years on, how well has the policy worked?
