I was surfing around the internet when I ran across this government page:

Speaking Out Against Drug Legalization

Among many things, they claim that "The Legalization Lobby claims that the “European Model” of the drug problem is successful. However, since legalization of marijuana in Holland, heroin addiction levels have tripled. And Needle Park seems like a poor model for America."

Is there any real truth in this? Is it really connected to the marijuana legalization? I doubt it, but I can't be sure.

P.S. Sorry if this is off topic; I don't think it is as it's related to MJ.

Haha, wow. The DEA completely twisted the facts around. Not that I'm surprised or anything...

Kudos for the link, Trocisp.

It's the DEAs position to enforce policy rather than explain it. Marijuana is an illegal substance because of the FDA, not the DEA.
