Pointers From Portugal on Addiction and the Drug War
www.nytimes.com...
Portugal’s law removed incarceration, but people caught possessing or using illicit drugs may be penalized by regional panels made up of social workers, medical professionals and drug experts. The panels can refer people to drug treatment programs, hand out fines or impose community service.
A lot of the benefits over the years from Portugal’s policy shift have come not from decriminalization per se, but in the expansion of substance-use disorder treatment. Such a move might bring the most tangible benefit to the United States.

People wondering if drug users have money for the drugs, why do they need free pipes ?
Also they wonder who gets the gov contracts (payoffs) to manufacture and distribute the pipes ?

Maybe the goal is to get more people to use crack. A lot of the crack users end up in the sex trade. More crackheads, more cheap prostitutes.
Still benefits Hunter.

Funny how he can find funding for crack pipe equality but can't seem to figure out how low income minorities can obtain a photo ID to vote.
