The success of drug decriminalization in Portugal
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/03/14/portugal/
So... if decriminalization works, not just in theory but in demonstrable practice, why do we continue to jail more people than any other country in the world, a vast majority of them for drugs? Is pot so dangerous that people need to be incarerated for merely posessing the smallest amounts of it? If meth really is so dangerous, wouldn't it be more important to get people to not use it? This is not achieved by throwing them in jail. Or is it really about criminalizing not drugs, but people?
