In true American fashion, we took the what Portugal did, and fucked it up.

Portuguese police do not tolerate open drug use, nor open drug dealing. And they will kick your ass and think nothing of it.

Also, the most important drug for addicts in the US, weed, is prohibited from recreational use, and smoking weed in public is not acceptable, legally or socially.

Portugal still uses it's police and courts to force addicts to get clean, unlike in the States.

The ruling philosophy of the US is more akin to China at is beginning of it's Lost Century. IE, widespread drug use, very limited efforts at curbing the drug use, and foreign countries' all too happy to import more drugs in.
