Who gives two hoots what they think. It's about time that the American public tell the govt what freedom is and how it is to treat it. We grow lbs of it and use most of all we grow. Haven't hurt a person yet in doing so. Find the offending elected official and ... Vote them put of office. There's your introduction into legalizing pot.

Thats pretty cool that its had such a positive impact on the country. Too bad the US will never have the cajones to implement such things. Great story!

I think it's definitely worth it for other countries to do the research and see if they would similarly benefit from decriminalization. Wow, that’s great!

Hopefully the trend continues and will convince other places to follow suit. Good to see a positive outcome in this. Hopefully the trend continues and will convince other places to follow suit.

Portugal just upped 100 points in my book for taking a look at the drug problem from a public health perspective. Great article, Julie. So important that Matador shares this type of info with everyone. Thank you! Portugal just upped 100 points in my book for taking a look at the drug problem from a public health perspective.

I found that article you mention and few days ago and mentioned it to people in Portugal and no one had heard of it - which was quite surprising, since it's such positive news for the country. Thanks for sharing it. I hope more countries adopt the same practices or other practices that achieve the same kind of results. :) As a Portuguese living abroad, this made me feel really proud of my country.
