Mill-2001, id-drogi kollha huma dekriminalizzati fil-Portugall. Skont ir-rapporti tal-EUDA: il-mwiet mid-drogi huma fost l-anqas fl-Ewropa, l-infezzjonijiet tal-HIV fost l-utenti tad-drogi naqsu drastikament, aktar nies qegħdin fi trattament, anqas ħabsijiet għal reati tad-drogi.

The Model:

• Possession of small amounts is no longer a crime
• Instead: Referral to "Dissuasion Commissions"
• Focus on health, not punishment
• Massive investments in treatment and prevention

* Exact figures vary by source and measurement period. See EUDA reports for current data.

Il-programm ta' distribuzzjoni tal-eroina tal-Isvizzera (mill-1994) skont l-Uffiċċju Federali tas-Saħħa Pubblika juri: tnaqqis sinifikanti fil-kriminalità tal-proprjetà, integrazzjoni soċjali mtejba, titjib tas-saħħa mkejjla. Il-gvern Svizzeru jivvaluta l-programm bħala suċċess.

The Model:

• Heroin-Assisted Treatment (HAT) for severely addicted
• Pharmaceutically pure heroin under medical supervision
• Daily visits to specialized clinics
• Integrated into comprehensive treatment program

* Based on official evaluations by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health.

Minkejja l-coffeeshops, l-użu tal-kannabis fl-Olanda hu taħt il-medja tal-UE. Il-mudell juri: it-tolleranza ma twassalx awtomatikament għal użu aktar għoli.

The Model:

• "Gedoogbeleid" – Tolerance policy for cannabis
• Licensed coffeeshops may sell up to 5g
• Strict rules: No advertising, no minors, no hard drugs
• Separation of cannabis and other drug markets

* Use rates according to EUDA vary by survey methodology.

L-Iżvezja bħalissa qed issegwi wieħed mill-aktar korsijiet ta' repressjoni iebsa fl-Ewropa kontra l-kriminalità tal-gangs: aktar pulizija, pieni aktar iebsa, deportazzjonijiet aktar malajr. Madankollu, il-vjolenza tal-gangs, il-kriminalità tad-droga u r-reklutaġġ ta' minorenni jibqgħu f'livelli għoljin. Il-pajjiż juri x'jiġri meta r-repressjoni tintgħażel minflok ir-regolamentazzjoni.

The Current Strategy:

• Harshest penalties, faster deportations of allegedly criminal foreigners
• New laws against gang membership and "socially harmful behavior"
• More police, surveillance, repression policy
• Political narrative: Migration = Crime

What Sweden Shows:

Sempliċement "tagħti aktar iebes" ma ssolvix il-kawżi bażiċi. Sakemm is-suq tad-droga jibqa' illegali, il-marġni tal-profitt huma għoljin biżżejjed biex kull riskju jiswa. Il-gangs ikomplu jirrekrutaw, il-vjolenza tiċċaqlaq, il-problema tibqa'. Ir-regolamentazzjoni tindirizza l-kawżi strutturali: sustanzi kontrollati, ktajjen ta' provvista legali, ċaħda ta' sorsi ta' dħul għall-kartelli. It-triq tal-Iżvezja turi: mingħajr viżjoni politika għar-regolamentazzjoni, il-mantra "aktar iebes, aktar malajr, deporta" dejjem thedded – politika li tiġġieled mas-sintomi mingħajr ma tfejjaq il-marda.

Canada was the first G7 country to fully legalize cannabis. The model shows how a regulated market can be built – with lessons for other countries.

The Model:

• Federal legalization with provincial implementation
• Licensed producers and retail outlets
• Strict quality controls and packaging regulations
• Age limit 18-19 (depending on province)

* Based on Statistics Canada and Health Canada reports.
