Reducing it to a misdemeanor instead of a felony is not exactly "de-criminalization." De-criminalization would be where the cop says "have a nice day." Still, one has to think that Portugal is heading in the right direction especially when compared to the US where "prisoners" are merely assets for the judicial industrial complex.

In practice most cops do that, they won't even write a fine, unless he is forced, e.g. a douchebag smoking weed on an indoor public place or at a schools door. But I agree, further work should be done.

You're supposed to cut costs in good economic times because you can tolerate it and incentivize new business to fill the hole.

So much for so-called "conservatives" being business-friendly...

I'm borrowing that for facebook.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
