Check the Data



Portugal decriminalized ALL drugs in 2001.  Note Portugal did not legalize all drugs. Fines and treatment programs replaced criminal records and incarceration    Fast-forward to 2017 when the number of drug induced deaths per million population between ages 15-64 is 6 in Portugal.  Comparably, the same statistic in the USA is 185.more than 30 times the rate in Portugal.  So much for America’s “War on Drugs” … 



See Chart III.  Annual US CO2 emissions per capita are at the lowest levels they have been since 1959.  The free market will solve the global warming problem.  It has in the past and it will in the future.  We have no place for fear-mongers.
