    Drugs are not the problem, people's poor choices are the problem.

    Do you think if all drugs were legalised and available from dispensaries that people who would normally be wary of them would indulge?

    It's tough to give an accurate answer to this question with limited data to work from.

    However, we do have information which allows us to draw some conclusions, at least relating to cannabis in the Netherlands.

    I've also read studies that showed a drop in usage rate among young age groups following decriminalisation.

    Sorry for the late reply, I only saw your post now.

    I know a few heads who would go to town on some drugs if they were made legal, at least for a while. The buzz and curiosity among younger people probably would fade though once it became open.
