Did you read my entire post?

.. marijuana and "drugs" are lumped together. (Marijuana and the other drugs now illegal may - and are - be very different in many ways.)

First, the Netherlands experience with marijuana says nothing re. to the other drugs besides marijuana that people want to legalize here.

Second, what the Netherlands has done in re. to marijuana is a very tightly controlled and regulated "legalization" - something different that the full legalization that would likely be enacted here. And the Netherlanders are probably quite different than Americans.

Are drug legalizers in the US seeking a similarly tightly controlled environment here - where people can't buy or grow marijuana when and where they want and use it when and where they choose? I don't think so.

Would you obey a law saying you can't smoke weed at home? That said you can't grow your own? That said you can only buy it and consume it on the premises of a government approved shop? I don't think Americans would be so obedient.
