We were chased by drug dealers in Lisbon after I said no thanks

I was in Lisbon yesterday where we were literally chased by drug dealers because they asked me if I wanted to buy and I said "no thanks"

I try avoid the city, obviously it's localized to a few parts, but I'd also add, not really, it's kinda spreading out to all over the city

There's an entire "crackolandia" now near Campo de Ourique if you drive off from there to the highway, full of crack zombies

Police generally do nothing

Odd about that part btw is it's literally a mix of I think social housing and crack addicts, so you see families having lunch outside while people a few meters away are shooting up

And that part isn't even the worst

And 6 years ago there was also drug dealers, but they were chill

They'd whisper "cocaine" and you say no and that was it

Never been chased like this
