The only drug specifically mentioned in the article is cannabis lol. As such, no not Portuguese, but I am from somewhere much more progressive than Portugal when it comes to cannabis regulations. Can a random tourist even go buy a joint legally from a store in Portugal yet? If any adult can’t go buy it from a store legally without any further justification, then it isn’t actually legal.
I also prefer the actual legalization of all drugs. Decriminalization is barely better than prohibition with inconsistent purity and implicit support of organized crime.
Edit: Oh sorry, I misread. I’m curious as to why you support decriminalization but not legalization. Also, aren’t many forms of opiates already legal when sourced correctly? Like for medical applications and stuff?
What are you, Portuguese?

Only two options: Canada or Uruguay
Edit: probably should have checked the instance lol
I’m in Michigan in the US. We are not under prohibition anymore
Unfortunately the only countries who have ended prohibition are Canada and Uruguay.
In Michigan you can legally get tortured (solitary confinement) by the (federal) government for merely possessing small amounts of cannabis.
Sure but they aren’t.
Selling isn’t legal in Portugal but all (nondistribution) drug use has been decriminalized
Decriminalization has serious issues for safe medicines like cannabis, but I prefer it to legalization for opiates personally
