Legalize pot and the battle is almost won. There are marijuana cafes all over Holland. You go in, they give you a little menu with different varieties, you order what you want, etc. (I went with friends who indulge--the stuff makes me paranoid.) Clean places, nice music. Most Dutch people don't frequent them. You know, once something is legalized, the thrill of the covert nature of it all is gone. And Holland functions very well with people growing their own pot. No big deal.
P.S. Like Holland, Massachusetts decriminalized marijuana a few months ago. Nobody cares. Basically, what this means is that the police are free to ignore people with an ounce or less of pot in their possession. They have better things to do.
