Bullshit.
Singapore's radical drug policy is also working extremely well. Why hasn't the world copied it?
And to be fair, Singapore's drug policy has been working for a lot longer than Portugal's experiment.

Here's mine: http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/drug-use/b...
Singapore has 0.18 drug related deaths per 100k population. With a population of ~5.6 million people this means 10 deaths per year for whole country. In comparison Portugal has 3x higher drug related death rate.
Regarding executions you can check wikipedia: > However, since the 2010s, execution has become far less common, with some years having no executions at all.
It displays that, the worse life is climate-wise, the more drug abuse there is.
Especially pronounced in Europe. As you go more inland and more to the north, drug deaths increase.
Is it a coincidence? Don't think so.
This way, Singapore was never in any danger, it's warm and coastal. And not in sub-Sakhara. Neither was Portugal, come to think of it! Thus it's a stretch to promote their solutions worldwide.
How did you get that from that chart? It clearly shows South Africa and Australia as having high drug-related deaths and they are as south as you can get.
A more accurate observation would be that developed countries with a heavy emphasis on individualism and a lack of communal culture experience the highest drug-related deaths.
