We know one half of the “news” on Fox is made-up and the other half is just too silly to even take serious, but we thought it was necessary to show you this segment of the Bill O’Reilly show. Anyone who has ever been to Amsterdam knows these so-called experts have either never been, are lying or both. Still it is sad that a story as ridiculous as this can be broadcast on American television.

Just some facts to prove that the “naive” ideas the Dutch have, as Margaret Hoover so elegantly puts it, clearly do work.
“The amount of coffeeshops has been on the decline ever since 2000. The amount of 16 to 34 years people that has used cocaine in the last 12 months is about one percent in the Netherlands. Compared with the UK (5.4), Spain (5.2) and the US (3.4) this is very low. The use of hemp is also low in the Netherlands compared to most other countries. The use of hemp in Holland is 10 percent, compared to Spain (20), the US (19), France (17) and the UK (16) this number clearly shows the hemp policy in the Netherlands does work.
It seems that Fox News needs to get it’s facts straight, assuming that they care at all about the facts.
