I'm assuming internet sarcasm there.
Am I right?
Noone is denying that there are undesirable consequences of much (most?) drug use. But treating it as a problem for the criminal law, rather than as a social and public health problem, is utterly counterproductive.
The only people who benefit from illegality are the traffickers. For everyone else, it's a disaster.

Am I right also, they still would employ harsh penalties for trafficking which is what Portugal has done?(I think)

Yep.
But if it's decriminalised everywhere, there'd be no room in the market for traffickers to operate - or, at least, they'd be reduced to the status of dodgy cigarette dealers. But why buy from an unlicenced dealer when you can get stuff from an approved pharmacy that's guaranteed for quality?
