Umm, no, YOU brought up the Netherlands, not I. I began by talking about my experience living in a country that is lax about drug use and recommend everyone else do so before they espouse legalizing drugs. What did I say about the Netherlands other than I wouldn't trust their statistics and that they are the world's leader in Ecstasy production? Look it up yourself.

Umm, YOU mentioned the Netherlands in post #76:

The country I'm referring to in the last post is the Netherlands, not Morocco.

I then gave you sources for Dutch drug use compared to Singapore, and also compared the Dutch murder rate to the US in post #87. You replied in post #90:

Right, the Dutch just export their drugged-up murderers to Aruba. I wouldn't ever trust statistics, especially those of a foreign country. Besides, they are expert at manufacturing and marketing dangerous drugs. That alone is a reason to make sure those statistics remain low for all to see.

I then replied in post #91:

Do you have any evidence to back up your unsupported assertions on the statistics? Or do you just believe what you want to believe?

______________________________________

That's when you switched to Morocco and Afghanistan in post #95.

So, I ask again. Do you have anything other than unsupported assertions to counter my government sourced data from The Netherlands?

I was responding to someone else’s referencing the Netherlands in post #76, not to you. Now I have to get on with life outside of FR. My “switch” was not to evade, but to make a point that I wouldn’t trust government statistics on drug use, anywhere, in any country, at any time.
