I find this a little confusing. The article says drugs are still illegal there, and people are still "caught" with them, but people are allowed to have them.

Can someone from Portugal comment on how clear the distinctions are over there? Is it actually confusing, with police still "catching" you using drugs, or is that just the article's terminology?

From reading this article it sounds like there's one foot in each camp, which could be pretty frustrating.
