TIL that Portugal did a radical experiment against addiction by decriminalizing all drugs and used the anti-drug budget on job programs and services to connect addicted people with their community. 10 years later drug deaths fell by 80% and heroin addiction by 50%.

It’s almost as if focusing on eradicating the factors that drive people to addiction, rather than criminalizing the addiction itself, has a better outcome. who would’ve guessed 🤔🤔🤔
