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
```

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?

I used crime rates as an argument, not as a driving force behind my actions.

Let me help you.

```

<: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.
