Drug decriminalisation in Portugal: setting the record straight. 13th May 2021 What you need to know Drug-related deaths have remained below the EU average since 2001 The proportion of prisoners sentenced for drugs has fallen from 40% to 15% Rates of drug use have remained consistently below the EU average This briefing updates our 2016 report on Portugal's groundbreaking reforms, and marks the 20th anniversary of their introduction. It is also available as a free PDF download. Similar articles The success of Portugal’s decriminalisation policy – in seven charts. Decriminalisation: Parliament's health committee grasps the need for drug reform. Scottish Affairs Committee calls for overhaul of drug policy New drug reform Bill tabled in Parliament Background In 2001, Portugal decriminalised the personal possession of all drugs as part of a wider re-orientation of policy towards a health-led approach. Possessing drugs for personal use is instead treated as an administrative offence, meaning it is no longer punishable by imprisonment and does not result in a criminal record and associated stigma.1 Drugs are, however, still confiscated and possession may result in administrative penalties such as fines or community service. Whether such a penalty is applied is decided by district-level panels made up of legal, health and social work professionals, known as ‘Commissions for the Dissuasion of Drug Addiction’. Where an individual is referred to a Commission for the first time and their drug use is assessed as non-problematic (low risk), the law requires their case to be ‘suspended’, meaning no further action is taken. Fines can be issued for subsequent referrals. Where some problematic trends are identified (moderate risk), brief interventions are proposed — including counselling — but these are non-mandatory. In ‘high risk’ cases, where more serious problematic behaviours and dependence are identified, individuals may receive non-mandatory referrals to specialised treatment services.2 In the vast majority of instances, problematic drug use is not identified, and cases are simply ‘suspended’.3 Individuals referred to the Commissions overwhelmingly view their purpose as helping to reduce use and educate on drug risks.4 They are non-judgemental in nature, and a primary focus is safeguarding the right to health of those referred.5 Importantly, the decriminalisation of personal possession is only one part of broader health-centred drug policy reforms that involve an increased focus on harm reduction and treatment provision.6 By ‘accepting the reality of drug use rather than eternally hoping that it will disappear as a result of repressive legislation’, Portuguese reform allows drugs to be treated as a health, rather than criminal justice, issue.7 The benefits of these reforms, therefore, arise from both decriminalisation itself and the establishment of a wider health-based response to drug problems. Portugal was not the first country to decriminalise some or all drugs, and it has not been the last.8 However, it is one of the most prominent and influential. The Portuguese model directly influenced the 2020 decriminalisation measure passed in Oregon, for example, as well as proposed decriminalisation in Norway.9 Portugal is regularly held up as the leading example of drug decriminalisation, so understanding the outcomes is vital. -

It's mind-blowing to think there are still parts of Earth that are undiscovered and have not been explored. And we have only explored five percent of our world ocean. That means that 95 percent of our ocean is unknown. I have always wondered if there are still landrace strains yet to be found, and new psychedelics like fungi, and potentially thousands of undiscovered tree species, such as in the Amazon. Though satellites have made it possible to assess the entirety of the Amazon from space, there are areas that, as far as we know, remain unexplored by outsiders on foot. There are still areas that are remote, roadless, and otherwise difficult if not impossible to access. -
But of course I have always loved my parents and always will, they have always been there for me.

The mind boggles as to how any of these people got their license in the 1st place. And it's scary to think most, if not all, are probably back behind the wheel.

Wow, quite extraordinary. They remind me of DMT entities. I myself have never seen one, but I have seen a lot of vids where people describe them. -

I personally have never experienced the Mandela effect. What I am saying is that it should happen more often if we are actually moving through billions of different states per second. He kind of reminds me of Napoleon Hill. I have studied him a bit. , I only really joined Gaia to watch his stuff called Messages from Bashar the Extraterrestrial. And studying some of Dr steven Greer. As for whether any of what they say is true, one will have to make their own mind up. I would still keep an open mind, but also take it with a grain of salt. -
All the best, and yes, I know how difficult it is to give up on certain addictions. One would say abstinent is king.

I will be microdosing again. I doubt I will ever do 20 to 15 grams of mushrooms ever again. My last trip was 7 grams, and it was about 8 months before my delusional experience. I may do 6 to 7 grams again, maybe in the near future. I may also write more about this experience, the bits I left out. I do seem to be more open than I used to be. I still want to try Ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT or 5-MeO-MALT, one of these days. Ever since I was young, I have had ADHD I managed to overcome it on my own with the help of Dextroamphetamine and my routine I created. I have not had it for about 10 years now. The drug I am on now is Fluoxetine, which, when I had one of my biggest trips, for some reason, manifested OCD as an after-effect of the worst kind. The weird thing was that there is no mental illness that runs in my family, but you can only go so far back with your Family Lineage. It could also be some traumatic event that I suppressed when I was younger. I am much better now, I want to get off the Fluoxetine eventually. I am also on Zyprexa Olanzapine, which was because, well, I believe it was caused by the keto OMAD diet that I went on for nine months without a break, I was having 0 carbs and walking every day for two hrs, and lost about 29kg. I am back on the keto diet, but I am going to have more carbs this time, you're allowed to have up to 50 grams, and I will have a break every 3 months. I started getting internal dialog in my mind, it was bizarre kind like hearing another voice in my head, but my voice. Anyway, I will be off Olanzapine soon, and I don't hear the voice anymore. What caused it, I don't know. It could have been caused by other factors, like my fiancée's passing a nervous breakdown from the extreme stress and that experience I had, which both caused PTSD in a way and trauma, some kind of mental break I still have not dealt with her loss. One of the things about Antipsychotics make you feel numb. The dose I am on is 10mg per tab. Apart from that, non-psychedelic experience, I have never had external auditory voices or olfactory, visionary hallucinations in my life, not really even on psychedelics. And there was that time I did 2 pretty big doses, in two days straight, and on the second night I got inebriated and just started putting handfuls of golden teacher in my mouth and ended up knocking myself out still have the scars from that night and I also banged the back of my head hard, was out for hours.I have done some other silly thing on psychedelics. My non-psychodelic experience, one way to describe it would be reminiscent of Datura. I have never tried it, but I have studied people's experiences with it. I would not go near, but then again, I am curious, though but I think not. Then again, it could also be acute late-onset schizophrenia. You have been hallucinating ever since you imagined yourself as a human, but a very stable and structured hallucination indeed, held together perfectly. In my world born from the dark All the lights don't know my name But the land sees through my heart And the oceans understand me How I wish I could be found See what lies beyond this world In the end I'm left alone, alone, alone again Don't give up, we will make it through Hold your ground, I'll be next to you Close your eyes, let your heart lead you It's our time, show them what we're made of From your world made from the light I can see you looking in All around I feel your warmth I have never been so happy When you stand close next to me Everything seems to be clear Both our worlds begin to be complete, complete again Don't give up, we will make it through Hold your ground, I'll be next to you Close your eyes, let your heart lead you It's our time, show them what we're made of Don't give up, we will make it through Hold your ground, I'll be next to you Close your eyes, let your heart lead you It's our time, show them what we're made of Don't give up, we will make it through Hold your ground, I'll be next to you Close your eyes, let your heart lead you It's our time, show them what we're made of.

If we are actually moving through billions of Earth-like realities, a second one would think there would be more of the Mandela Effect. -

So very sorry for your loss, I know how hard it can be. Cats are like family.

A new modality of multifaceted, asymmetrical thinking is needed. Sometimes, you have to fail in order to succeed. I started making my own yogurt with the el rudai microbe, let's see if it lives up to all the hype surrounding it. part 8 I should have called this my non-psychodelic experience before this happened, it was at 8 months before my last trip of 7 grams of Golden Teacher. I sat and waited once again about ten minutes in too it I got another message from this trillion-year-old race saying that the landing party with my fiancee had been taken on to their ship and yes they are an advanced and peaceful race and would never harm another I went this is doing my head wtf is going one extreme to another. So they told me they were off to this so-called lost planet that was a billion years old and had proof that Jesus was there first before he came to Earth. I went, and this is becoming extraordinarily perplexing. So I was communicating with my fiancée as she was going to the planet with the trillion-year-old race of aliens. This is when reality started to break down. I kept on talking to her and this other guy from 2098, they finally reached this planet, but there was no evidence supporting the fact that Jesus had ever been there. So they were on their way back to Earth. I started mind speaking with the guy who sent the billion-year-old race to attack my mushroom friends. So we both started to wonder what was really going on, are we in some kind of simulation of sorts? By this time, I had lost contact with the mushrooms, the guy from 2098, and my fiancée. It was as though the walls of this fantasy were collapsing. like we were in a game, and we were the last two left so we both started to formulate the reason for everything that had happened and conversed for over an hour and for some unknown reason that Pleiadian girl came back and started to butt in and was causing trouble saying I should not be drinking alcohol and the other person was telling her the fck off let him drink after what we all went through. She drifted away, and for some reason, I heard the mushroom again telling me to smoke some cannabis, so I did. By this time, it was just me and the guy, with whom we became good friends by the end of it all and person lives in Las Vegas don't ask me why he was in my delusional state I remember he said if it is a simulation, there must be a code to end it, so I started saying end simulation stuff like that, but nothing seemed to have an impact on it. The cannabis got me tired, so I went and lay down. Now I could not hear any of them, and there was no more mind-speak from anyone. As I lay in bed, after two hours, it dawned on me that my fiancée was not coming back, and I was in some sort of delusional or psychotic state for the past 5 days. And somehow the cannabis broke me out of it, maybe? or it just wore off I finally went to sleep and woke up the next morning. And was back to normal. It broke my heart again that my fiancée was not coming back. There is quite a bit I left out of this experience, I still don't know if it was caused by a UTI, plus the oxy cotton with alcohol withdrawals, or some sort of side effect from all the psychedelics I did before or maybe from the loss of my fiancée some sort of mental break. Any, it lasted five days and was as real as this now. I know I may have to see a psychologist on the death of my fiancée from the trauma and PTSD. My problem is I tend to hold things in and tough it out, and I don't always talk about my problems. There was another time when I was coming down from a drug, and I started to get this high-frequency buzzing sound in my head, it was like the only thing I could say was that I going insane. And it was becoming worse. I put up with it for a few hours, and I could not take any more, so I ended up in the hospital, where I was given diazepam and an antipsychotic, and it went away. The only way I can describe this humming buzzing sound is that it was an insane state. And I have been in some crazy states when on psychedelics, but this was worse.

ehttps://www.facebook.com/share/p/18EHA59n2p/ This is another song that sprung up on one of my trips. It is like an impression or a picture a snapshot of my trip. Funny how it's called Memories. And this one came out of nowhere when I was on one of my biggest trips. Gaze speaks for itself. God looking back at God, I remember the big planet was spinning around for at least 5 days. This is what it looks like when you are on a high dose of mushrooms and you are awake with closed and open-eye visuals. EMPI-Hypnosis. When you awaken as God there is no God beside or outside of you or in front of you or separate from you. You have been God all along and yes you instantly connect to infinite Intelligence which is you all along. This no-self stuff is nonsense. You become infinite intelligence. You communicate at hyper-infinite speed and you know everything I mean everything and it is so fluent and effortlessly. You still retain yourself but recognize who you are, which is not human. But that is the character for which you are playing at this time. And yes you can go so deep that you forget that you were ever a human to begin with.
