Kthx.
P.S. the whole "our crime rate is higher than theirs" argument is pointless. You can substitute anything in there and it will still be true. Ex: Amsterdam has a higher air quality then NYC, because of that their crime is lower.. Good luck proving that statement wrong. There is no true indicator of WHY their crime rate is lower.

Im not making any argument about crime rates or anything. You said that they have a lot of junkies in the streets, needles in arm because or lax drug laws, correct?
Do you not see that here in the US? Saying that if we loosen up making pot legal means that there will be droves of people lying out in the street, needle in arm, in a pool of their own excrement makes no sense to me.
edit: ahh ok. Not pot, but drugs overall. Yeah, not a fan of letting all drugs off the hook.
