Debate 🇵🇹 Portugal

Portugal adopts a national drug strategy built on health

With an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 heroin users and the highest HIV rate among injecting drug users in the European Union, the government adopted a strategy that expanded harm reduction and doubled spending on treatment and prevention. Decriminalisation of use followed from it two years later.[1]
