Portugal's approach to drug war - Seventh-day Adventists' Leading Forum

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Gail Mom to lots of chickies Registered: 2002-12-09 Posts: 23124 Loc: Buon giorno, Principessa	So this means that the once illicit drugs are now treated the same as alcohol, eh? This classifies the problem as a medical one instead of a criminal one.

Tallmark I have already made 100 posts Registered: 2008-03-23 Posts: 251 Loc: Orlando, FL	Marijuana is illegal except for a very few here in the US, yet a doc can prescribe demerol (which was the drug given to Michael Jackson before he died). Docs have more dangerous drugs than drug dealers do.
