I like that 75,000 people just up and decided that heroin didn’t taste as good once it was legal 😉
Those are hipsters for you.
Although I like your answer better, Portugal’s laws didn’t just decriminalize and walk away. They decriminalized and were very aggressive with making treatment options available.
This is true, and I absolutely think the way to go is full legalization in addition to a very heavy focus on harm reduction and treatment. Legalization without shifting focus onto treatment is not a smart move IMO.
