Do you support the war on drugs?

[Galapogos]

I read somewhere that I think it was Norway legalized all drugs and then put all the money that formally was used to fight drugs users into treating drug users. Apparently it has had great results so far. Seems like a good way to go.

I've never know someone who has chosen to avoid a certain drug due to the fact that it's illegal or in scarce supply due to the fact that it's illegal status makes it hard to obtain.

I'm no expert on the subject nor well read on it so my opinion isn't worth much on the matter though.

Isn't that what Portugal did? If not then they did something similar. Crime dropped with the policy, what a surprise.

Could very well have been Portugal. And by good results I should have been more specific. I didn't mean crime dropped, which it did obviously, I meant people suffering from addictions dropped since they were now being treated for their addiction rather than arrested for it. They also weren't left to get to a point where they commit other crimes in order to support their addiction.
