Did you know in Lisbon, Portugal, every single drug is legal?

They used to have a horrible heroin problem, I mean, like 1 in every 7 citizens was addicted.

Instead of further criminalizing, they chose to take a different approach by legalizing everything.

Now, the addiction rate has gone down, so has the number of deaths. However, you can literally sit in the streets and shoot up heroin.

When you are caught, instead of being immediately sent to jail, you are put in front of a panel who assesses the severity of your addiction. Once assessed, if it is decided you need treatment, you are put into a treatment center that is funded by taxpayers. Yeah, I said it. Taxpayers.

I think people are only charged with rehab who choose to go.. (since everything is legal)

That's what I meant.....you don't go to jail, you go in front of the panel. If they decide you are addicted, you are sent to rehab and given treatment paid for by taxpayers....as opposed to sending them to jail where there is no treatment and taxpayers are still spending money

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
