A comment on Conversation: Should Drugs be Legalised?

Jun 15 2011: There's exactly 8 years that we changed the law in Portugal so that consumption of drugs wouldn't bet a crime. Nevertheless Portugal was able to reduce the consumption and the number of people living in the streets without any treatment was reduced drastically.

I would not agree with the legalization of drugs, but I see that in my home country has found a good solution, by approaching the drug addict as a person that needs treatment and not a criminal.
A comment on Conversation: Do you believe we have true freewill?

Jun 15 2011: I believe we have free will but I can also ensure you that my PMS can take over it sometimes :-D. If we are adults and healthy, free will exists, we can choose what to do and how the enviroment around affect us.
