Destigmatization of drug use in the Netherlands: Drug users there arent thought of as criminals, as in the U.S., but rather as normal people engaging in unhealthy behavior. Theres a notable lack of moral judgment in the language used in the Amsterdam cocaine warnings -- contrast this with the rhetoric employed by many of the opponents of drug law liberalization in the U.S. Some final food for thought: 44 percent of Americans report having used marijuana in their lifetimes, and 14 percent have used cocaine. In the Netherlands, those numbers stand at 26 percent and 5 percent, respectively.
