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

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By frankw · Posted

      At this point the Tepper's seem to be leading you around by the nose based on how much time you spend carrying water for them so I'm not surprised you're struggling. We are the only team who saw fit to install Andy Dalton with his zero career playoff wins as a culture cornerstone and a key mentor. Even the putrid Saints wanted no parts of that. Truth hurts 🤷‍♂️

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      They have drafted two QB's since they took Hurts in the 2020 Draft. Tanner McKee(6th - 2023) and Kyle McCord(6th - 2025). In that span we have drafted Bryce Young(1st - 2023) and Matt Corral(3rd - 2022). Technically, we have invested significantly higher draft capital on QB's(albeit one less than they). It's not the investement that is the issue, it's the results. Corral was literally not a rosterable player with a THIRD ROUND PICK. We gave up a king's ransom for Bryce to basically get Davis Mills results(so far).

      No QB from the draft or free agency was going to change this being a losing season for us. I mean we’re rebuilding, everything we’re doing is meant to be for winning tomorrow.
