If Cannabis Is Legalized, Portugal Could Be A Window Into California’s Future

In this video, I narrate my most recent article at CAIVN- Jack Hunter style.

Opponents of cannabis legalization worry that it will have a detrimental effect on society. That feeling is understandable, but citing a Cato study, I take a look at Portugal where all drugs were decriminalized in 2001.

Ten years later not only has Portugal avoided a nightmare of spiraling drug addiction, all signs indicate that drug use in Portugal has declined.

Take a look.
