Drug Problem in Europe and the U.S.?

Question by Selene :): Drug problem in Europe and the U.S.?
I know that drugs are a global problem. I used to live in Germany, and although I was very young, I can remember drugs not being a major problem. However, my best friend told me that he doesn’t want to reside in Europe mainly because of the increase in drugs. I understand that some drugs are legalized in Amsterdam. Is he being hypocritical? Just because of one city, it doesn’t mean that all of Europe is consumed in drugs. I also heard that the laws in Europe regarding drugs are far more rigorous than in the U.S. Thank you.

Best answer:
