Portugal's drug decriminalization. 2.3.4. Based on single-payer, universal healthcare. 2. Two Leading Economists Say Medicare for All Would Give Workers 'Biggest Take-Home Pay Raise in a Generation'. [1][2].
19 years since Portuguese decriminalization in 2001.
Compare to the USA:
News: US Republicans lead war on cannabis. And near-genocidal US drug war. [3]. And other endless wars. Presidents should be figureheads like UK's queen; their power abolished. [4].
Vote out most Republicans! Ballotpedia issues: marijuana and minimum wage. It is not socialist. It is Common Sense. (search for "poor" among Thomas Paine quotes). See: List of minimum wages by country. And: Medicare-for-all, like Canada, is not socialist either. See: US federal minimum wage has 35% less buying power than in 1969. 10 years since last increase. A record. [5]. Republican state governments in 28 states passed laws to prevent cities from raising the minimum wage. Far-right talk radio helps Republicans do this. Republicans block cheap municipal broadband in 26 states. Vote!
