Portugal Decriminalized All Drugs Eleven Years Ago And The Results Are Staggering

"Portugal's drug usage rates are now among the lowest of EU member states, according to the same report.... One more outcome: a lot less sick people. Drug related diseases including STDs and overdoses have been reduced even more than usage rates"

The use of street drugs is down, not the drug use, and the Portuguese economy is terrible, maybe because so many drug users are content to sit home and smoke dope, or happy pills.

On the job drug testing in private industry will continue and even be stepped up as marijuana is legalized. Only government workers, who aren’t known for working that hard, will get a pass. Oh, and maybe members of the SEIU.
