There seems to be a pro-pot corridor from Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland ...

And Ireland ...

The Scandinavian countries are quite anti-pot.

Interesting.
Such wild, wild regional differences though!
I guess much of the differences could be explain from a low sample right?

The Scandinavian countries are quite anti-pot.

I'm surprised to see how relatively anti-pot the youth of The Netherlands (despite a very small pro-majority) & Denmark seem to be.

Other interesting findings:

100% (!) of young people in Croatia say that it would be easy for them to get alcohol in the next 24 hours, while Austrians are already second with 99% ...

Their economy sucks, their population is declining, which means life in the future will be even more miserable. But the political issue they care about is access to their damn opiate.

Some people deserve what happens to them.

Young people in Slovenia are the only ones that support Heroin and Cocaine regulation with more than 10% support.

Not true. Declining population = more resources for each individual. That applies even with lower production. Resources such as land, housing, water, energy# will not be affected by this. We will be entering a scarcity economy soon.

# you can get by with mostly renewable resources with a lower population.

As we all know, it is quite literally impossible to care about more than one issue simultaneously.

To be fair, it will be somewhat difficult to manage when half the population is at retirement age; so nobody is paying National Insurance.

You get transitional problems, but a higher retirement age will off-set part of this.

We wont get anywhere near to half the population at retirement rate at any point in the downsizing process.

There's one very easy way to correct for lower levels of fertility: Higher levels of immigration.
Europeans, like everyone else, have a moral responsibility to put the pressure on the earth and its resources as low as possible. The most effective way of lowering this pressure (even more effective in fact than environmental taxes) is by encouraging lower levels of fertility.
