Is Decriminalisation Enough? Drug User Community Voices from Portugal

Is Decriminalisation Enough? Drug User Community Voices from Portugal

This is the first community-driven evaluation of the outcomes of Portugal’s decriminalisation of people who use drugs. Introduced in 2001, Portugal’s model of decriminalisation has been hugely influential and is frequently referred to as an example of legislative reform that has improved public health, social order, and the health and wellbeing of people who use drugs. This document builds on INPUD’s Consensus Statement on Drug Use Under Prohibition: Human Rights, Health, and the Law. (INPUD - International Network of People who Use Drugs, September 2018)
