I just found a website in English on your particular topic. Please look at my suggestion.

Are they very liberal?
I suppose you are thinking of the drug-users-are-not-criminals-so-no need-to-put-them-in-prision thing?

This is the context:

"Como distinguir o consumidor do traficante?
Uma das caracter�sticas essenciais e inovadoras da Estrat�gia Nacional corresponde � discrimina��o do consumo de droga passando a constituir contra-ordena��o social.
O seu fundamento �tico radica-se na diferen�a entre um criminoso (traficante) e uma v�tima do crime (consumidor), tendo a pr�tica seguida permitido a explicita��o e o encaminhamento para as comiss�es de dissuas�o de milhares de consumidores o que � positivo.
Esta inova��o evitou o agravamento do congestionamento dos sistemas judiciais e prisionais.
A n�o inclus�o no sistema prisional de consumidores de droga permite tamb�m reduzir o conhecido efeito de cria��o de redes orientadas para o tr�fico.
Todavia, levantam-se d�vidas quanto ao crit�rio principal explicitado no Decreto-Lei n.� 130-A/2001 de 23 de Abril, em que se considera como consumidor aquele que n�o possua quantidade de droga superior � necess�ria para 10 dias de consumo. Ora, � poss�vel exercer a actividade de traficante com log�sticas mais distribu�das e evitando a posse de quantidade superior a este limite."

Paula - is this to do with the Portuguese government's very liberal drugs policy?

Selected

social misdemeanor of minor offense against society

This is type of crime under Portuguese law. HEre is the definition from the Portuguese Ministry of Justice's website. It is basically what we call a misdemeanor in English, or an offence punishable by fine.

One does have to look up these concepts and not just translate them literally...

CONTRA-ORDENAÇÃO

Todo o facto ilicito que preencha um tipo legal no qual se comine uma coima. Na decisão administrativa cabe recurso para o tribunal.


so, the answer is: social misdemeanor or minor social offense ...


what is hard in your text is the discriminação...tricky wicky, that one...:)
