We are trying to tease out the difference between decriminalisation and legalisation. Does Mr. Leitão da Silva have an opinion on the value in the context of what he has been describing in the past hour, which is a lot about the positive effects of decriminalisation in terms of rationalising the police's work so it is now focusing on the drug trade and criminality and not necessarily on individual users? In that context, we have seen other regions fully legalise and regulate some substances. Does Mr. Leitão da Silva have an opinion on that?
