As to claims that legalization will reduce crime, make sure that users only get "good healthy stuff" and that the government would be able to have any control over the use of a drug that is as easy to grow in your back yard as kentucky blue grass, well that is pie-in-the-sky idealism.

You're sure of this? Care to provide a representative study, free from bias to back up this claim? You may also wish to use population percentages since the United States has a much larger population than Holland.
