Sverige har idag fler tunga missbrukare än Holland, och dödligheten bland dem i Sverige är sju gånger den i Holland. Samtidigt har de inte upplevt någon som helst drastisk ökning i cannabiskonsumptionen iom deras lagstiftning, då denna ligger helt i nivå med deras grannländer.

Vad har Hollands heroinmissbruk med vårt förbud mot cannabis att göra? Ett skäl till att det antagligen kommer legaliseras delvis i England är för att det INTE är en inkörsport till tyngre droger, som jag nämner i texten. Om det dessutom är lagligt så behöver man inte umgås med kriminella...

As person living in Holland and understanding Swedish whilst being reluctant to write it due to probable mistake-overload. Apologies for that: I usually get annoyed with the tendency some people have to point out the huge problems Holland is allegedly facing with drugs and prostitution. From what I know, have heard and/or experienced myself these problems are in no way higher than in other European countries. Consumption of cannabis is even lower than, say, the UK. ...

Frederik Oberthur again |
As for prostitution: as far as I know theres no link whatsoever between the legalisation of cannabis and huge problems with prostitution. The only reason why Holland is often associated with prostitution is a the Red Light District two tiny streets in Amsterdam mostly frequented by tourists and b the fact that here prostitution has been legalised.

Once more Frederik Oberthur |
Im not a fan of prostitution myself, but the clear advantage of legalising is that it reduces the huge problems it might cause, offering the women working in it at least some protection and health care. The Dutch approach in both cases is: you wont prevent it. By legalising things you can at least keep control. And so far this system has worked very well.

A last one from Frederik Oberthur |
Anyway, theres much more to the Netherlands than D&P theres also tulips, windmills and wooden shoes. In daily-life terms it only affects a small fraction of society, perhaps a bit like the small fraction of surstromming-lovers in Sweden no idea how many they are, actually. Cant be many, can it?.

Dear Frederik.
I get very annoyed with "klootzakken" that try to make Netherlands out to be a country fuelled by dope and prostitution, not for a minute reflecting over their own HUGE problems. In Sweden most prostitutes are forced to do their trade outdoors, they do not have poltical representation, they do not have trade unions and they do not qualify for pension. Even their customers are outlawed, making it sure only outlaws visit prostitutes. Not very humane at all !

tampa florida: jag skulle knappast tro att det bara är brottslingar som går till prostituerade, däremot är själva sexköpet brottsligt, så man kan väl kalla dem brottslingar in spe. Alltså: inte brottslingar, snarare människor som på något underligt sätt klarar av att köpa sig ett knull, eller vad de nu vill ha.
