> Sweden probably has more people in prison for drug possession than America.

Don't know if you picked Sweden in particular intentionally but they are very much an outlier of their own when it comes to drug-related crime. Simple possession of small quantities for personal use can still have you end up in jail or even prison for up to 6 months.

They're still all-in on the War on Drugs.



Outlier in what sense? Oregon is more of an outlier than Sweden. Let’s not even add East Asia to the spectrum of drug policy approaches.
