      With the right support it’s beneficial to the community and those who use drugs and are addicted. It’s like watching porn, it’s a social taboo, looked down by religion, etc. But a natural human need to masturbate, surpressing or avoiding a need makes it worse. However, being nonjudgemental towards something helps provide many many benefits.

      Myth. Portugal is rethinking the whole policy as use has risen from 7.8 to 12.8 . Crime has also spiked by 14%. This sadly doesn't work either. As for the number of users, going for rehab has sharply reduced.
