Nice story, great you guys met.
Im always curious when people say tax = theft.
- When you travel dont u like it that planes dont crash into eachother (that often) thanks to some authority taking care of controlling the airspace?
- or when you take a bus (partly funded through community, that you can ride it on the comfort of a road
- etc
Additionally i want to mention that Portugal has not legalized all drugs. They have decriminalized little substances of personal use, which is actually the case in many countries in Europe such as my homecountry the Netherlands.
Regardless of this i'm totally with you on the stupidness of the war on drugs.
Here is Portugal's Drug Policy on wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_Portugal
