Just playing devil’s advocate…but the netherlands also doesn’t have central america right below it. I’m not saying that legalizing marijuana wouldn’t benefit the economy and lower crime rates, but I’m sure if the netherlands had countries like mexico and columbia right below it, things would be a whole lot different.

Of course. Those damn brown and black people.
...not because of their skin color. I just meant that last time I checked the countries under the netherlands are filled with numerous drug cartels and gangs...

Oh yeah, because the drug cartels were started in latin america and then forced violent drug culture on the usa.
oh and there are no drugs in the netherlands, except all the heroin that comes from central asia and all the cocaine that comes from .... latin america.
Americans are known to be the biggest druggies world wide.

Of course. The same policies don't necessarily work for different demographics. Northern Europe is a very different place than 99% of America.
You guys seem to know a lot about the drug related problems in the Netherlands. Since I'm living there for 33 years, I can tell you that the problem we have here with the legalization of maruana is being caused by foreign tourists (mainly from France). Dutch people sometimes try to smoke a few times when they're 16, and then decide that it is a very sad pastime. Since the other countries in our world try to do like it's far worse then drinking a few beers, people who want to smoke have to do it 'underground', and therefore tend to get in touch with far more underground stuff then our kids.
Per capita they have too much prison space. Belgium does not have enough, and keeps prisoners in Dutch prisons.
Plenty of people go to jail in The Netherlands
