In 2000, the Portuguese government responded to widespread public concern 
over
drugs by rejecting a "war on drugs" approach and instead decriminalized drug
possession and use. It further rebuffed convention by placing the 
responsibility
for decreasing drug demand as well as managing dependence under the Ministry 
of
Health, rather than the Ministry of Justice. With this, the official response
toward drug-dependent persons shifted from viewing them as criminals, to
treating them as patients.

Drug Policy in Portugal: The Benefits of Decriminalizing Drug Use is the 
second
in a series of reports by the Open Society Foundations' Global Drug Policy
Program that documents positive examples of drug policy reform around the 
world
(the first being From the Mountaintops: What the World Can Learn from Drug
Policy Change in Switzerland). Drug Policy in Portugal describes the process,
context, ideas, and values that enabled Portugal to make the transition to a
public health response to drug use and possession. Now, with a decade of
experience, Portugal provides a valuable case study of how decriminalization
coupled with evidence-based strategies can reduce drug consumption, 
dependence,
recidivism, and HIV infection, and create safer communities for all.
