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?

It has to be all in and holistic. Just decriminalizing with out support won’t work. Portugal has socialized health care so addiction can be dealt with under a public health remit and other parts of social care system come in to play.
