Most outrageously, the drug czars ignore the well known and undisputed statistics that show that Dutch use of cannabis remains about half that of the US and is comparable to or less than use in our neighboring countries with more repressive policies. Moreover, Dutch heroin use rates are also less than half of US rates. We attribute that fact to what we call the separation of the markets for hard and soft drugs.
Hahaha
Is that why the usage of marijuana and Heroin are different in the Netherlands compared to the United States?
Can you think of any other difference between America and the Netherlands?

Is the “elephant in the room” the fact that US drug policy is bought and paid for by billionaire criminals?

Do you mean the fact that lawyers are the biggest lobby for keeping pot on the black markets?

As far as I know the average (NB! - i.e. even though most Californians probably don't consume cannabis, the math evens out this way) Californian consumes more dollars worth of Cannabis than fruits and vegetables.
Talk about inflated prices!
