Compared to the US.
That's not all due to marijuana?
@!Co-Owner! No, ofc marijuana isnt the cause or resolution of all
But it plays a factor, in the above named ''cannabis usage percentage''
Its just damn lower than the US, cuz it is legalized<
ok let me just pull some stats together
```
Of the 8.2 million marijuana arrests between 2001 and 2010
```
Drug
Drug abuse violations 1,638,850 1,324,860 313,980 170,570 1,468,270 1,093,910 519,830 11,240 13,870
Drug sale/manufacturing 302,310 249,050 53,260 23,800 278,510 181,370 116,830 1,740 2,370

your point?
3277690
wait
I'm getting stats
Yeah stats for what?
Like I asked before
you were implying marijuana is a really great force in USA crime
No
Well that just disvalues your arguments then
It doesnt.
Were you not talking about the crime rates?
Let me help you.
```
I used crime rates as an argument
```
<:Thonk:362811285869559808>
So it does disvalue
it does now, cuz you dont get my argument
Youre looking in the wrong corner
''My argument is, that the idea of legalizing weed is a though subject to some Americans. They think badly of it.''
add the other part back
No, it could mislead you
🤔
I want to get to the roots
So the root problem is the thought
You have country a (US), versus country B (NL). One country almost sees legalising weed as a taboo (cuz reasons??), while the other country legalises weed and doesnt have a problem.
Indeed
Problem in: mentally, thought process. And materialistically
So your argument for legalising marijuana is that it is too taboo in America??,
My argument is that they dont have an argument to not legalise it. Since, legalized weed doesnt really have an effect on NL (as a country)
Why not legalize it in the US?
For every argument an US citizen can think of, how badly it is, I can argue my country as an example.
We dont have problems here, crime rate's low, drugs use is low, high wealth ect.
