LEGAL POT LACKS LURE OF FORBIDDEN

Marijuana has been quasilegal in the Netherlands for about 40 years, 
yet the Dutch use cannabis at less than half the rate Americans do 
("Legal pot will lead to more addiction," Star-Advertiser, Letters, June 25).

And they use cocaine and heroin at about a third the rate Americans do.

Why? Because in the Netherlands, there is no "lure of the forbidden 
fruit" like there is in America.
