That would IMO be insane because we already see what alcohol has done damage wise to the nation.

If you check most crimes connected to violence and theft, there are usually marijuana, other drugs and often booze mixed in.

You don't screw people up further by trying to turn the USA into Amsterdam.

Hope all these pot heads and dealers die off quickly before they take more new generations coming up.
They do GREAT damage to our country IMO.

“You don’t screw people up further by trying to turn the USA into Amsterdam.”

Do you know anything about the statistics as it relates to drug use in Amsterdam?

“The Netherlands does not differ greatly from other European countries. In contrast, a comparison with the US shows a striking difference in this area: 32.9% of Americans aged 12 and above have experience with cannabis and 5.1% have used in the past month. These figures are twice as high as those in the Netherlands.”

Do you wish to see alcohol prohibited as well? Do you have any idea how organized crime evolves?
