A "feel" for statistics? Funny, when I took statistics in college, I don't remember disussing our feelings about them. The numbers don't change because you feel a certain way about them. What are the numbers?
You may have some insights about the numbers that I don't have, not having lived there, but the numbers don't change just because you live in one place and not in another.
Have crime rates and drug usage rates increased in the Netherlands since legalization, or haven't they? Once I know that, you can wax on at length as to why they've increased or decreased, and have much more authority than I do.
However, outside of arguments about how the numbers were generated, you do not have the authority to say that the numbers show the opposite of what they do just because you live there!
