One of the important points he misses is how legalization would affect the number of people using drugs

There is not a single person in america that can't get weed if they wanted it.


That is a fucking lie, and you are a very ignorant person for saying that.

He did say that needle exchange programs don't cause more people to use drugs.

And I did find it interesting in a book I was just reading that 12% of Americans smoke pot where it's very illegal while only 5% of folks from the Netherlands do (where it's more or less legal)... 22% of Kiwis smoke pot and it gets you in quite a bit of trouble there too.

Here's the top 10:

1. New Zealand 22.2%
2. Austrailia 17.9%
3. USA 12.3%
4. UK 9.0%
5. Switzerland 8.5%
6. Ireland 7.9%
7. Spain 7.6%
8. Canada 7.4%
9. Netherlands 5.2%
10. Belgium 5.0%
