Of course it’s not exclusive to the US? The severity is exactly what is noteworthy about the situation in the US though.
What do you mean with being naive about drugs? I don’t think in Europe we’re naive about it, we know there’s addiction here as well but we generally try to take care of addicts as fellow human beings instead of excluding them from society and making the situation worse.
“Having heard from someone” this or that is a whole different category than the extent of the drug problems in the US.
“I’ve heard from someone there’s this American Football team in Amsterdam, so basically football is the most popular sport in Europe now.”
I wasn’t really comparing the severity of drug problems in the US vs Europe.
Just that the phenomenon is not exclusive to the US just like being naive about drugs isn’t exclusive to Europe.

What did you mean with this?
“ It’s ok, be glad you’re clearly too European to get this. Leave the Americans to deal with their problems”
Only way i can read it is to say this problem doesn’t exist in Europe.
The severity of the problem doesn’t exist in Europe…
Such a useless discussion this is.
Glad to end it on something we can agree on.
