What about the mayors of other Dutch cities, are they on board with this or will they just reap the benefit of increased tourism?I watched a TV program a few months ago how a new mayor of Amsterdam is trying to make it illegal for 'foreigners' to smoke weed.
So if you want to enjoy a weed smoking weekend then best get in quick if he has his way. You'll need to be Dutch to purchase and smoke. This has already made many coffee shop owners say it will just increase the illegal trade. Dutch people will buy it and sell to 'foreigners' at a massive increase in price.
I've not had a 'spliff' (showing age) since the 90s when you had that resin stuff that burned holes in my shell suit. I think a drag of actual modern weed would end me lol.
The made up man in the sky who promises heaven but also doesn't stop kids getting brain cancer?Is it against gods laws?
No I'm just wondering where the logic comes from the "it's natural, therefore it should be legal"The made up man in the sky who promises heaven but also doesn't stop kids getting brain cancer?
Poppies are legalNo I'm just wondering where the logic comes from the "it's natural, therefore it should be legal"
Poppies are natural...
Poppies are indeed natural and in its natural form opium is probably no more addictive or dangerous than alcohol. Mushrooms and cannabis are far less harmful and addictive. Even in its purified form ie Morphine/Heroin (diamorphine) is in a similar category to alcohol regarding harm and addictiveness. People have been using these natural drugs for pain relief or recreation for thousands of years and it is only in the last hundred years or so that we have been trying to prevent them.No I'm just wondering where the logic comes from the "it's natural, therefore it should be legal"

Cannabis in its purest most natural form isn't a problem for me. Same applies to other 'drugs'.No I'm just wondering where the logic comes from the "it's natural, therefore it should be legal"

Wow, I've seen some crazy crazy posts on here today but never thought I'd see someone advocating heroin abuse!Poppies are indeed natural and in its natural form opium is probably no more addictive or dangerous than alcohol.

Is Opium?Poppies are legal
Nor have you seen it on this thread.Wow, I've seen some crazy crazy posts on here today but never thought I'd see someone advocating heroin abuse!
well....Nor have you seen it on this thread.
Well what? If you've seen anyone advocating heroin abuse, show me the evidence.well....
True. But scientifically less dangerous than either alcohol or tobacco.Its far from harmless
People are saying that it is less harmful than alcohol, which is universally accepted. It's true that cannabis is not good for the developing mind of a child but here's the nub, youngsters find it easier to buy cannabis than alcohol because the only ID a dealer requires is a picture of the queen on a banknote. The quality, marketing and sale of alcohol are strictly controlled and many supermarkets will not sell to anyone without ID unless they look 25.Astounded by people on here advocating cannabis as a good thing. Particularly for teenage brain's psychosis is a real danger. I had a friend who dabbled in class a drugs for years but in the end it was cannabis which ruined his mental health. Its far from harmless
I think the law will change - once Germany do it how long before the rest of europe follows? Its already legal in lots of US states. It will take time but it will happen here too.And compared with the cost of Acohol abuse to society would the cost of legalised weed be any higher? Not sure it would.
But the reality is the law is just not going to change,.
