If you read the article you cited then you know that on this issue, Swedish society is different than almost every other Western democracy. There are many areas where Sweden is different, such as their cradle-to-grave socialism.

Sweden's problems are not our problems, and vice versa. We have to address the problems we have in the way that makes the most sense for us. Blindly copying what others do is brain-dead. Canada tried strict no-tolerance policies on drugs for decades. They didn't work in our society. Now, like an intelligent people, we're trying something different.

Having said that, all power to the Swedes. They're doing what's right for them. We should too.
