Anyone else believed drug consumption, possession, trading and the like were legal in portugal after reading this article?

Well it is not. Only consumption and possession of small amounts is. And that is the case in a lot of European countries.

Badly written article for leaving out important facts. Author obviously biased.

That would be legalization, he uses the word decriminalization.

I used "Anyone else believed", not "The article states". Yes, the error is on my side here, but the author was not very clear.
