This is why you will never get to the truth of the matter. You don't even bother to review direct evidence before you.

The success of Portugal’s decriminalisation policy – in seven charts | Transform: Getting Drugs Under Control

OEyBkXI.png

Legalization of hard drugs occurred in 2001.

Why would I bother to argue with someone who won't even accept empirical evidence? Reason is entirely subservient to evidence. If you can't accept evidence you're completely useless.

Ahh, the dark side of research, bias and omissions.

Portugal population: 10.46 million
United States population: 318.9 million

You aren't taking a variety of things in account. Firstly, people are now more informed about the drawbacks of using chemical substances NOW then in 2001. Secondly, drugs don't have to kill you to parade the consequences. Yes they may not kill you, but the effects strike every aspect of society in every way. Legalizing drugs would inaugurate an innumerable amount of social problems.

Some points to make:

  • Alcohol is not pertained to any negative side effects whilst drugs can induce psychological trauma.
  • Alcohol is much easier control as far as consumption and trafficking.
  • Treatment and addiction rates would rise
  • Education would be adversely affected with students popping drugs like they're candy because of the fact that the teenage brain is susceptible to addiction.
  • Accidents and deaths from impaired driving would increase.
  • Environmental damage that would trail?

I am not going to disclose my experience with drugs but acknowledge the fact that this is coming from someone who previously peddled drugs and have seen the effects of drugs on a first hand account.

You want some empirical evidence?

Drugs take you to hell, disguised as heaven. Drugs are a waste of time and money, take them and they destroy any ounce of self-respect you had.

The reality is drugs ruin lives, break up families and are destructive to society.

Clearly do not understand statistics whatsoever.

If education were sufficient to explain the decline then a first world country like Sweden with substantial spending on drug education would experience the same decline, not an increase.

You're applying some moral standard and ignoring data that doesn't fit your world view. Needless to say that is not a valid way to discover the truth of a matter.

I am not making a moral / ethical argument. I'm not making an argument at all. I am pointing you to the empirical evidence that decriminalization objectively minimizes harm where harm is measured in death.

You want some empirical evidence?
Just lol that you think some images of individuals is statistically relevant.

It doesn't seem like you're open-minded to the subject matter. Not going to continue with this quarrel. You have your opinion, I have mine. You're an intelligent individual, but I was a bit let down in how you retaliated.

Thanks for the discussion.

P.S You opened my eyes a bit in regards to me having a hard time in finding statistics. I appreciate that.

Appreciate the discussion.

It's honestly not an argument. You asked for empirical data. I provided it. You refused to accept it.

Try having a scientific mind rather than an "open" (or in your case closed) mind.

Is this trend not just keeping up with the rest of the world yet rising less than other countries?

Legalise gay shit, then drugs, then murder, then some other shit.
None of it should be legal, period.

You think homosexuality should be banned?
There is male and there is female, if someone has mental problems and wants to fuck his/her own gender then they need help. There is no such thing as homosexuality because they don't have ''their'' own private parts, they can't multiply. Just like retarted people you can recognise gay people from the way they communicate and interact, it is mental ilness, but there are people who became straight again by becoming Christians. There is something wrong with all homos, they are possesed or some shit, that's clearly the work of the devil. I warned you.
