Hi Paul, you know man in Holland as you know pot smoking is legal now in Swizerland is tolerated you can smoke it in Bars or buy it legally provided you have a swiss ID, in Germany there are lots of plantantions of "Hanf", you can drink beer here anywhere you want,in cinemas,trains,buses,etc.(without having it to hide in a paper bag like in the U.S)people smoke eveywhere,prostitution here is legal as well...i guess the moral of this is, is there less pot smoking in the U.S. because of prohibition or less alcoholism?are kids masturbated illed because they see tits from women here openly when they go swimming or in magazines,or because prostitution is legal?Is there less crime in the U.S. because prohibition?Is society better in muslim countries where alcohol or drugs are condemned?Are we ever going to be able to clean up society from cafeine,tabacco,drugs,alcohol,prostitution etc.?Has society become less decadent since the times of Christ? I would have to do serious research to argue this but this subject could go on forever because one problem gets solved and another one will come out and i guess its in our nature to try to solve things for others but not necessarily a solution.
