I didn't read all that after you said "marijuana" and "Netherlands"... Between you and I, we solved marijuana 50 posts ago. I know it doesn't kill people. We are now talking hard drugs.

My point is more people do legal things than illegal things. Look at the top three... you think that is an accident because they are the most dangerous?

Put it this way. I smoke. If they outlawed it, I would quit and so would most others, I would be willing to bet. Because most people with productive lives are not willing to hang out in dark alleys to get it, or to go to jail over it, and because I don't want to hide 20 times a day to feed an illegal addiction that would now be even more a source of shame than it is now.

The point of the Netherlands was to show there wasn't a huge rush to go out and smoke weed after it was legalized, even though it's far safer than meth, crack, etc.

I disagree, and Alcohol Prohibition supports my position.
