If people manage to look past the sensationalism they can find a wealth of information that demonstrates conclusively that the Harm Reduction strategy is the safest, least expensive and most effective method of coping with the social issue of hard drug use. The best evidence for that can be found in Portugal: they decriminalized all drugs about five years ago and have subsequently seen cuts of about 50% in addiction and addiction-related crime.
