You often hear Portugal cited when arguing for drug decriminalization. I heard it’s been successful. Oregon on the other hand decriminalized drugs a year ago and overdoses have spiked 40% according to some statistics. Is drug decriminalization all that it’s made up to be? Why did it work on Portugal but not Oregon?

I think it just needs time to level itself out. Of course you’re going to get people who go crazy because it’s legal to do anything, but over time, it should level out. I’m willing to bet Portugal was like that at first as well.
