Portugal legalizes drugs. Crime/Usage falls.
“The apocalypse never happened” as some predicted when the country of Portugal decriminalized ALL illegal drugs eight years ago. The country did NOT become a haven for drug use, and drug abuse & drug crime actually FELL.
@Zzozze – Sorry to be so blunt, but even chasing the dragon causes overdose all be it not so severe ( most people go unconsious or fall asleep involuntary) Its known that some bacteria survive in temperatures far in excess of that of silver foil and the evaporation process involved in heroin thereoff…..Basically its only just safer, just less chance of fatal overdose, thats what you really ment.
another video with a misleading name…. LAME
@psyimology Now you got it: by smoking, the guy will be already too stoned to inhale enough for a deadly overdose…
and the AID virus doesn’t survive 50°.
This is what I meant, but it seems that the “prevention” teams like to promote the use of syringes.
@BI30 My most recent video title is much longer the one on this video. It is “California Superior Court Judge Jim Gray Schools Bill O’Reilly on the Failed Drug War” so your full of shit saying you can’t modify the title. Decriminalization is the correct term required for Portugal’s drug status.
@CannabisEducation420 I can makethe title much longer, but when the title appears beneath thumbnails, it is truncated to (apx) the first 50 characters. To avoid the title from being clipped, I have used the shortest possible title that still accurately describes the video. I hope you understand.
@abaton1
Heroin is an opioid based drug and weight gain is a extremely common side effect with the usage of opioids , the reason why heroin users are skinny in usa and countrys where it´s illlegal is because they cant afford any food, if you can afford heroin and food you will be fat. The weight gain from strong opiods is not as extreme as barbaitues , weight gain is most extreme from antipsychotic drugs like risperidone and lithium
@Wtfgames thanks for the info
@StuffedAnimalAdvisor
You have not heard about alcohol psychosis which make the user extremly violent and is similar to amphetamine pyschosis , your wrong about that alcohol causes violent behivour, A
@Zzozze +
ZZose are you fkcing retarted, smokign heroin can not cause a overdose? Man you know nothing about heroin, it´s extremly easy to od on it and even more easy to overdose from smoking heroin then snorting it, heroin is not as likly to cause a overdose as barbabitues and espicaly phenobarbitual
@Zzozze
Weed is not the only drug that is impossbul to od on.
Overdose on lsd would take around 200 blotters(which is insane a normal drug users take 2-4 blotters to get high)
It takes around 150 tablets of eascty to die
overdose of shrooms is estimated at 2-3 pounds
Benzoprines require absurd amount, valium requires
For a 150pound human it would take 3750 mg of valium to cause death, common valium pill is 5mg so it would take 750 valium pills to cause death
wow, doing drugs is no longer a crime. i am surprised but i thinks its a good idea. most people want to get off drugs. i never used drugs. however i believe giving people options to get off the drug instead of jailing them is the solution. way to go portugal. i wish other countries would follow.
The question is simple:
Is prison the solution for a drug adict? NO.
Prison is a best bussiness for drug dealers! In the prison and after going out , tree times more adict!
At least one country in the world has it right
@SteelRocker haha wanna come over and smoke? jkn
That title is okay. Drug legalization leads to fall in its usage.
@Wtfgames
Wait a minute. You say I’m wrong about alcohol causes violent behaviour, but your saying alcohol phychosis makes a person extremly violent.
So that implies a person wouldn’t get violent if they didn’t drink the alchohol.
@StuffedAnimalAdvisor
A person that is not violent can have a alcohol psychosis yes and that would make that invudual violent thati s correct yes.
well it should be legalized because it is freedom
This didn’t reduced drug use the stats are wrong, it’s just omitted people who before the new law can now get away with having heroin possession for personal use.
@realvideo24 You need to provide a link, but I think the premise of your argument is the same fallacy immigration opponents use to respond to statistics that show crime is actually DOWN in places with high immigration: claiming that simply being here illegally is a crime, and thus the number CAN’T be lower. That’s like making breathing illegal and then complaining of a 100% crime rate.
I don’t buy this at all.
@interneti
cool
bullshit!!stupid news.dont believe everything that you see on tv.
Even when Portugal legalized drugs they still have lower drug use than the U.S.
@Coonstev seriously, we arent free if we dont have the choice to use drugs
