Portugal: Hotheads go to pot

Daily Record, Glasgow

Saturday 12 Jun 2004

---

PORTUGUESE police will turn a blind eye to fans smoking dope in the hope
they'll be too stoned to fight.

The decision comes after Dutch police at Euro 2000 noticed fans behaved
better when they were in Holland, which has relaxed drug laws, than they
did in Belgium.

A Portuguese police spokeswoman said: 'We won't be hiding behind doors
waiting for someone to smoke a joint. We have to use common sense.

'If people are smoking and not beating each other up and not making a
problem, why on earth would an officer go and ask, 'Is that cannabis?'
Possession of small amounts of cannabis is not illegal in Portugal though
consumption of the drug is.
