Portugal decriminalised drugs. Results? Use by teens doubled in a decade with nearly a fifth of 15 and 16-year-olds using drugs

The nation held up by the Liberal Democrats yesterday as a shining example of how to win the war on drugs is far from the unqualified success story they make out.
For the number of children using drugs in Portugal has more than doubled since the country’s laws were liberalised, the latest figures show. A decade after the law was relaxed, nearly a fifth of 15 and 16-year-olds use drugs – well over twice the number in the years before decriminalisation.
The controversial Home Office report commissioned by the Liberal Democrats states: ‘It is clear that there has not been a lasting and significant increase in drug use in Portugal since 2001.’ But the evidence suggests otherwise.
The most recent independent report on what is happening in Portugal shows that in 1995 eight per cent of Portuguese teenagers had tried drugs.
In 1999, when laws began to be relaxed, it was 12 per cent.
But after decriminalisation in 2001, it rose to 18 per cent in 2003 and 19 per cent in 2011. The picture for cannabis use is similar. In 1995, only 7 per cent of Portuguese teens had tried the drug but by 2011 the figure was 16 per cent.
The report, by the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs, looked at 100,000 15 and 16-year-olds across Europe. Its most alarming finding covers children under 13 in Portugal.
In 1999, 2 per cent had tried cannabis. By 2003, that had risen to 4 per cent and remained at that level in 2011.

Here is the truth presented in a state forward manor so you can decide. More people tried drugs. Addiction rates stayed the same, but more people ended up getting the help they needed. People were not packed off to prison.
The Daily Fail and its "reporters" are receiving a triple award today.
You all get the first ever Richard Nixon Fiction Award. This award is given to people for exploratory works in fiction pieces surrounding drugs.
You all get the Adolf Hitler Prize. This prize is given to reporters for unmatched propaganda.
You all also get todays ASSCLOWN AWARD. Enjoy it you idiots have more than earned it and are absolutely in the running for prestigious ass clown of the decade award. Keep writing your rubbish and the very best of luck.. not sure you all will even need luck as you're pretty much perfect ass clowns.
What a haul.. stop already.
They are even getting shredded in their own comments.. lol.
