It's illegal, as far as I remember, but it's not enforced by the cops. What are you gonna take from a homeless junkie?

Speaking of crime rates, Sweden which has zero tolerance for drug crimes also has only 3% drug related crime recorded. Hey! Statistics are always true! Pretty sure that's lower than almighty Amsterdam. According to Frosty's argument we should then institute zero tolerance policies, no?

Stats are fun!
