Please read up on how Portugal solved their drug problem.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, they decriminalized it

They went further than that. They legalized it so that doctors can prescribe it. If you were a heroin addict, the doctor can prescribe you heroin. You’d get clean pure heroin, not shit cut with fentanyl, and you’d get help with getting clean.

That's not legalization that's medicine being prescribed by a doctor. Any doctor in the USA can also prescribe diamorphine as well.

Except they don’t do that in America

You're missing the point. What you described is not legalization

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yes, they decriminalized it. I knew this years ago.

They didn’t just decriminalize it, they legalized it so doctors could prescribe drugs. If you’re a heroin addict in Portugal, you can get pure clean heroin prescribed to you by a doctor and be put on a plan for treatment.
