If I understand you correctly, you have two sons who want to smoke marijuana. They tell you it's OK. Not addictive. And that any drug is OK in Holland.
Marijuana is not addictive. However, the people your sons have to deal with to get the marijuana may well attempt to get them to move on to stronger medicine, harder drugs. This is a typical evolution.
Perhaps you could get your sons to go to the following site and read the conversation between addicts who are trying to get OFF opium-based drugs like oxycontin, percoset, lortab, tylox, and others. Read about the hell these people are going through: ruined marriages, lost homes, damaged children, lost jobs, lost credit, self-loathing, suicides, murder, and worse. You essentially have no life anymore. Where once it cost ten dollars to get a beautiful "high" feeling, now it costs a hundred dollars a day just to feel "normal," and you'll kill for the drug you need rather than face the horrors of withdrawal. Horrors.
They don't call it tickling the dragon's tail for nothing.
Here's your link. See if you can get your sons to read all the posts here:

I hope you can get them to read this stuff. I know what I'm talking about. I've been there and back.

I couldn't really understand your post completely. Marijuana is a relatively benign drug though and probably ranks along side alcohol in terms of harm. It won't cause a lethal overdose like alcohol. It can be habit-forming, but has very low physical addiction -- far less than alcohol. I believe in harm reduction though so I will tell people who smoke pot: buy a vaporizer or bake brownies. I see no sense in inhaling smoke into your lungs.

P.S. Lucid, I would definitely bake brownies or brew ganja tea if the Hospitable Plant were cheaper. Will consider the vaporizor thing, but so little smoke is required for the desired effect that I don't feel any particular urgency about it.

"probably ranks along side alcohol in terms of harm."
Not trying to put you down at all by saying this but you obviously IMO anyway haven't expierenced much on the outside? per sa'.
I'm no longer a so called "PotHead" never really was but there is in no way anything that is remotely comparrable between a PotHead and an Alcoholic. No way No how.
The things one will expierence with an alcholic is a universe awway from anything expierenced with an avid pot smoker.
I'm not advocating smoking pot just saying like it is as I have mucho expierence many times over with both.
It doesn't make any sense to legalize boozzz and not pot. Silly. And the only reason it isn't legal in this country is because it wouldn't be a popular law.
