I don't disagree with your points. I don't like the War on Drugs either. I think it is destructive.

Ulbricht was a legitimate kingpin who at least tried to have people killed. I don't have much sympathy for him and I'd rather distance his actions from real issues with the War on Drugs.

I still disagree that Portugal's policies regarding users is that relevant here. You are right in what you are saying, though.
