Sunday 12 February RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
dutchinkuwait 7 January 2010 - 12:27pm / kuwait

when drugs were forbidden and penalties high, drugs were very expensive and only heroin available.

It is like alcohol: you start with beer and wine. then some go to whisky and then some become alcoholics.
If only strong booze is available then you have more alcoholics.

some start with cannabis, of those some will use cocaine and of those latter only some will become addicts.
if there is only heroin there will be more addicts.

more addicts means more crime ( more cars broken open and radio's stolen, more insurance claims, rising costs of insurance policies and more taxes because we have to build more prisons )

I am happy to be dutch. I am not paying any taxes, but americans do wherever they live on this planet.

Clogland Policies Forever !
