How Portugal Won

How Portugal Won How Portugal Won

How Portugal Won the War on Drugs (2017-2021) marked the 20th anniversary of drug decriminalization in Portugal, published in TIME and Newsweek Japan. In 2001, facing a heroin epidemic, lawmakers invested in harm reduction and began treating people with addiction as patients rather than criminals. Twenty years on, decriminalization was a success, inspiring places like Oregon to pass similar laws, and this work documents the outreach teams, methadone programs, and supervised consumption rooms that make Portugal’s policy unique.
