overall drugs, yes OVERALL drugs consumption is lower in the Netherlands, regardless (yes REGARDLESS) of whether marijuana is counted as illicit drug in the netherlands (which in fact is illicit, in case you dumbasses didn't know), than it is in the U.S.
there is a reason why it is lower
we EDUCATE our children of the dangers of drugs and unsafe sex in the schools, where as there are many schools in the U.S. that don't.
it's helps lower the spread of STD's (aids/hiv relative rate is twice as low in the netherlands than it is in the United States and has been so for decades) and lowers teenage pregnancy rates (which is 6 times higher in the United States than it is in the Netherlands, has been so for decades) and it lowers the exposure to illicit drugs, which is about 90% in the United States, where as it is only 80% in the netherlands (again has been lower in the netherlands for decades).
the fact that some of you actually think it's the opposite, is just sad really really sad and it is telling of the downright shameful behavior of your journalists and your politicians (regardless of whether they''re republican or democrat), who keep telling you otherwise and who are in fact all a bunch of liars
if you continue to think otherwise, then you are a moron, plain and simple regardless of whether you are a democrat or a republican
the fact that you said so otherwise in the thread is political libel and you're using it towards a nato ally, who has sent troops to both afghanistand and iraq
it is shameful... you people have no honor... I really hope for your country's sake not all its citizens are like you
