Well Dr. Costa's position on that is simply untenable.
What he said about the high levels of use in the Netherlands compared to the rest of Europe is simply objectively wrong.
There are no two ways about this, it's not a matter of opinion, it's not subjective, he is objectively, absolutely wrong.
Cannabis consumption in the Netherlands is
low in comparison to most other European countries.
But in any case, we shouldn't be focusing on consumption, we should be focusing on outcomes.
We should be focusing on health, social, and economic costs.
We should be focusing on death, disease, crime, and corruption.
Deaths in the Netherlands are very low compared to Sweden, which is very much of a very different view, and is focused on use reduction and regards harm reduction as very questionable.
So he ends up with the wrong answer, and he starts off with the wrong question.
There is in fact only one study in the world which compares two cities in two countries using identical methodology to try and work out what happens to cannabis, and that's a study that Craig Reinerman from California and Peter Cohen from Amsterdam, where they compared cannabis consumption in more punitive San Francisco, to cannabis consumption in more liberal Amsterdam.
San Francisco and Amsterdam were chosen because they have many similarities, they are coastal cities of similar size, they are much more liberal than the rest of their countries that they are part of.
In any case, when they polled residents, in a meticulous methodology that was identical in both countries, what they found was that the proportion of residents who had smoked cannabis more than 25 times was 39% in San Francisco, 12% in Amsterdam.
There were minor differences in age, and the percentage of married people, those sorts of things, but not near enough to account for a threefold difference.
When they asked people who had smoked cannabis whether they had been offered heroin, cocaine, or amphetamines the last time they purchased cannabis 51% of San Francisco residents, compared to 15% of Amsterdam residents said that they had been offered these more serious illicit drugs.
And so that's an argument for the separation of markets, which the Dutch have long believed to be something they've achieved with their more liberal approaches to cannabis.
Now if drug policy analysts want to see heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabis supplied by the same dealer, then San Francisco's your choice.
If on the other hand you want to see the heroin, cocaine, amphetamine market, and the cannabis market kept apart, then Amsterdam is the choice.
It depends what people want to achieve.
Personally, I would want my family and friends to purchase cannabis, if they are going to purchase cannabis, to purchase cannabis from someone not trying to sell them heroin, cocaine, amphetamine.

I can't tell you how much fun having on this trip
I can't tell you how much fun it's been having you here
Mom
I sat freeze
I heard some poor guy standing near the candy machine got hit
When I bite into a York peppermint Patty, I get shot
Okay, people, here is our problem.
The mayor was caught handing money to a known prostitute
You lost me my job
My lawyer says I have an open-and-shut case.
See you in court, Sonny.
You cannot believe what I have been through tonight.
I have spent the whole night, scouring the city, searching for the mayor
Hey, is that breakfast?
There he is
Good morning people
Alright, I'm sure we are all focused on the same problem, so let's get right down to it.
Mr Fluffy
The children's zoo mascot, has recovered from mange...
And he's now available for petting, However, until he's completely out of the Woods, there is a 2-stroke maximum.**
Mr Scruffy's speedy recovery is notwithstanding
Mr Fluffy, Carter
I've seen him, Mike.
His fluffy days are way behind him
Don't we still* have that tiny problem of the photo of the mayor with the prostitute?
That's over with.
I found the mayor, he's not with the prostitute last night. so our strategy in#### dealing with this is straight denial.
What do I say if somebody asks me about this
Tell theem you don't know anything.
But I don't.
But I don't know anything
Very good.
Hope you all learn from James
Learn what?
Will you stop showing off?
Come on.
What about the picture Mike?
Simply misunderstanding, media distortion###.
Tabloid sensationalism.
I don't know Mike.
I saw the mayor this morning and he didn't look like a man that had spent the night alone
I'm happy to report that he's alone and unloved
Alright, let's move on to something little lighter
Hey Paul, how's your headwound
Hank's still suing### you Paul?
But....
The last thing I need is publicity* about one city hall employee suing another one
Here's the thing
I have already applied and been accepted on Ed koch's the people's court , taping this afternoon
Please tell me if you lose you're going to jail
Here it is
My family's thanks giving recipe for the best sweet potato pie in the world
Guard it with your life.####
This is a xeroxed page from the Joy of cooking
That book has been in my family for years
I can't wait to go home for thanks giving.
I love the whole thing.
A little snow on the ground a little touch football game before dinner.
Get to sit at the kiddie table.
You still sit at the kiddy table?
Big fish, small pond
Thanks giving at my house is nothing but a bunch of fat overstuffed### drunk sitting in front of a TV turned### up so loud they can't hear each other
Oh, and me in the bedroom rifling** through jacket
So, that's 5 days and 4 nights at the Bahama Hilton? is the continental breakfast included in that?
Thank you
Your family's going to The Bahamas for Thanksgiving?
I hope not.
Because that's where I am going to be
So, you are not gonna spend Thanksgiving with your parents?
The only mama I want to see is the bahama mama
What is this....some kind of fruity club med###?
Actually, it's a very secluded part of the island
Nothing but palm tree, warm sand, me, three books and my towel
I have a towel.
I could get a book
No.... you're all singing, but you're not going. you think you're traveling with me on my vacation,but that ain't happening, so you can stop singing
I'm sure you're feeling uncomfortable
Sir, with all due respect, sitting on a red hot poker is uncomfortable.
This is excruciating.
