As you may or may not be aware of, Europe isn't a single country, but rather a continent containing several countries and cultures. Not all of them have legalized prostitution and hashish (it sounds like you are referring to The Netherlands, which is the obvious choice country for uneducated Americans when generalizing "Europe"). For example, Sweden has neither.
There, now you have more knowledge about the world outside USA than the majority of your fellow countrymen.:)
