Portugal has done a lot right when it comes to dealing with drugs, but they are a long way from the drug takers paradise where there are no legal repercussions for taking drugs (which I guess most people want when they talk about legalising drugs). Unless you know something I don't, you still aren't allowed to grow/produce stuff yourself. But you won't be punished if you are carrying under a set amount, just targeted for rehabilitation.

The bold part is so inaccurate and naive that it is laughable. I already stated that drug use WENT DOWN from decriminalization and more people are seeking treatment. Don't assume things, it doesn't make you look good.

As for the second part, yes, that is why I said decriminalization not legalization, you should probably learn the difference.
