Drug decriminalization in Portugal
- Share link: www.cannabis.wikia.com/portugal
Hard-drug rehab costs money. All Western European countries have some form of universal healthcare. It gets better health statistics and costs less per person. Clueless Libertarians, Republicans, and Teabaggers are against universal healthcare because it is government funded. Even though most of these same Tea Party people would never want their Medicare taken away from them. Their stupid preference for private health insurance costs them far more per person, and so they must be basic-math challenged. So much for American brainpower. Obamacare is a lame middle ground between universal healthcare and private health insurance. It will not help poor people enough because the coward Democrats are also bought out by the insurance corporations. So tens of thousands of people will continue to die in the USA each year due to lack of money for healthcare.

Cigarette Ingredients - Chemicals in Cigarettes. Tri-County Cessation Center. "The list of 599 additives approved by the US Government for use in the manufacture of cigarettes is something every smoker should see. Submitted by the five major American cigarette companies to the Dept. of Health and Human Services in April of 1994, this list of ingredients had long been kept a secret. ... While these ingredients are approved as additives for foods, they were not tested by burning them, and it is the burning of many of these substances which changes their properties, often for the worse. Over 4000 chemical compounds are created by burning a cigarette – 69 of those chemicals are known to cause cancer." See: Wikipedia: Tobacco harm reduction.

Added by Timeshifter"In October 2008 the American Association of Public Health Physicians (AAPHP) became the first medical organization in the U.S. to officially endorse tobacco harm reduction as a viable strategy to reduce the death toll related to cigarette smoking." [6] [7] Joel Nitzkin: "So if we can figure that the nicotine in the e-cigarettes is basically a generic version of the same nicotine that is in prescription products, we have every reason to believe that the hazard posed by e-cigarettes would be much lower than one percent, probably lower than one tenth of one percent of the hazard posed by regular cigarettes."

Polls. Cannabis is more popular than most politicians
It is difficult to get the national TV media to cover the Global Marijuana March internationally. But we get tons of media coverage locally in many cities, including TV coverage. Oftentimes even with just a few marchers. It really matters because it normalizes us in many people's minds. "Oh, it is those yearly marijuana marchers again. No big deal." So more and more people get used to the idea, and then go to the next steps of decriminalization, looking the other way, limited legalization of possession, etc.. Full legalization will happen after that. Kind of like how laws against interracial marriage were ignored. Osmosis. See the large crowd shots worldwide. Also, the NORML chart of poll numbers rising over time. The crowd shots make a big impression, and demonstrate that the events are taking place simultaneously around the world.

Yeah, right on, Pat! Those conservative hippies were right after all. And that liberal, big-prison-spender, Nancy Reagan, with her "Just Say No" lock-em-up activism was wrong. And don't forget that liberal, big-prison-spender, Newt Gingrich and his drug war.

Newt Gingrich's 1995 death penalty bill for importing 2 ounces of cannabis
See Newt Gingrich. In contrast, see: Lowest enforcement priority for cannabis offenses.
Added by Timeshifter
Added by TimeshifterNewt Gingrich (see his Wikipedia article) proposed a bill in 1995 to give the death penalty for importing 2 ounces of cannabis. He introduced it in 1996 as H.R. 4170 (Drug Importer Death Penalty Act of 1996) to the House of Representatives.

Photo to the top right: Newt Gingrich at West Georgia College (which later became the University of West Georgia). According to his Wikipedia article Gingrich was professor there from 1970 to 1978. He left when he was denied tenure. The image source says: "That's not Austin Powers dressed for a job interview... it is Newt Gingrich as a young professor at the University of Georgia." Lol. A comment says: "Short sleeved shirt (?) and a suit : not a good look....."
