Weed might become legal in Canada

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
