It's the results that i was focusing on.

"The Amsterdam policy on drugs has enabled medical and social agencies to
establish contact with approximately 85% of all the drug addicts in the city.
The number of drug addicts infected with Aids or hepatitis B is much lower
than in other European and North American cities. Compared with other large
cities in Europe and North America, the drug addicts of Amsterdam are not
responsible for large-scale crime. There is a growing desire among them to
stop using drugs. Calculating over a longer period of time, the number of
addicts in Amsterdam is declining. The reduction in the number of young
addicts has been the most striking."

It proves that cannabis and soft drugs ARE NOT gateway drugs, which is what the government want us to think.

Police are more concerned with hard drug addicts because they are a factor on crime, but if all countries follwed suit then the number of hard drug addicts would go down and the police can concentrate their time on real issues.
