Portugal’s radical drug policy is working. Why hasn’t the world copied it?

This is great. But I sometimes wonder if the people who advocate for "x worked for y, so it is best practice and every should do it" appreciate situation complexities and cultural differences?

Because the US prison industry policy is working as desired.

So it’s apparent that many governments around the world are unwilling to take a similar approach to drug use. But could Google, Apple, Facebook et al provide services there? Create functionality to aid in harm reduction and addiction outreach? What would those things really look like, and would those companies actually leverage their access to billions of people to help with drug abuse?

That's about it really. There are a whole lot of people across the world whose salaries depend on an unending drug war.
