From prohibition to legalization

From my personal experience, i have seen that it is almost impossible to prevent someone from doing something that feels right. This why I think prohibition is not the solution to any problem, especially to drug use. A real life example of this, is the fact that France is the number one marijuana smokers in Europe yet it is one of the country where the drug laws are the most strict. On the other hand we have the Netherlands that opted for depenalizing marijuana and sell it legally in small quantities that actually have less marijuana smokers than in France. This is why their should be a change of tactics for the war against drugs. The Danger of drugs is not the drug itself but it's fear.
