When discussing drug use in countries such as the Netherlands, where drugs have been legally obtainable since 1976. The rate of addictions in the Netherlands is low compared to other European countries and the crime rate has decreased significantly since 1976. On the other hand, although Spain decriminalized some drugs and tolerates the use of heroin and cocaine, it still has the highest AIDS death rate in Europe with approximately 75% of these deaths related to the use of venous drugs. How do these statistic differ from the U.S.?
