Dr. António Manuel Leitão da Silva:

Definitely not because we still have large seizures of drugs, there are still search warrants and individual searches, and we are still arresting people based on information. All of us know that when the police put an effort into arresting someone and identifying criminal actions, the people involved tend to change their strategies. The police also have to change their investigating strategies. As I mentioned, almost on a daily basis there are cases where people reduce the amount of drugs they possess in order to be identified as common drug users, but we have information on these individuals and we can prove very clearly they are not common drug users but drug dealers.
