CHEERIO!

we probably couldn't take you guys in considering my parents barely have the patience to let my cousin and some friends of his stay over, much less 2 people they've never ever heard of in their life. that said, a small flight is possible i suppose. you'd have to get to the aerodrome by yourselves but if you can meet up there there's really no problem at all. i'll have to at least tell you where it is though, its' 40km east from paris about, maybe 30 to 40 minutes by train |

best in the world well not in amsterdam in particular (i'd imagine it's worse in amsterdam because tourists are more easily satisfied) but here in NL definitely. because bad stuff just doesn't get sold unlike in the US where you can sell anything. people are dying for it there because there aren't 30 coffeeshops in every city where you can buy it legally. |

They are Turkish/Russian/Thai/Brazilian but not Dutch  I don't think the new law is already in affect for the coffee shops. Otherwise you should stop in Rotterdam or Breda(if you would come from Paris by train) for some weed, they are probably not so strict there if you pretend to be Dutch. For language you shouldn't be afraid, you can always ask for the road and in touristic places they will even talk to you in English(it happened to me twice last monday when I was in Amsterdam). But you shouldn't make it yourself too easy, it's a lot more fun to find your way yourself without doing everything in English! |

I think the official reason was because of drug trafficking.

If you deal in something that is illicit elsewhere, you get smugglers and traffickers from abroad, and that means crime related to smuggling and trafficking is at your doorstep. Were the pot legal in other countries, smuggling would cease to be a serious problem and smugglers and traffickers would be on the streets. Gang-related crime would probably die if drugs became legal, because they would no longer have any reason to exist. With legal drugs, what do they do? Parade around and extort people? That doesn't pay the bills anymore. |

Isn't pot still illegal in the Netherlands? I think they just decriminalized it. |

Yeah I agree. I'd rather agribusinesses spearhead production of it. Drug cartels and shady growers wouldn't be in any condition to compete and would be run out of business by cheap, mass-produced weed. Eventually the industrial growers would turn to lower grades, gradually reducing the potency of the drug to levels akin to the 1960's and 70's. Which is why I have no idea why the anti-drug people are anti-drug at all. Once drugs are no longer underground and get mass-produced, they themselves will become less dangerous, and all the types who deal with illicit drugs will have no way to make any money. Drug violence = dead and most organized crime (especially in the US) will shutter because it won't be profitable anymore. |

It means it's not a crime, but it's still not allowed under the law. I believe the government simply tolerates it there, much like how the US federal government [mostly] tolerates states legalizing marijuana for medical use even though it's still illegal under US law. |

not to mention something like 1 in 3 federal inmates are there solely for marijuana related drug crimes. anyway if you agree with that then vote Ron Paul at the very least the only candidate that is smart enough to realize the "war on drugs" is a joke. |

thats so contradictory lol and also I think the US just passed a law that makes it so the gov. can't interfere with drug legalization in states so it doesn't matter. So the ATF agents can stop raiding bud shops in california. |

It means that even though marijuana is illegal, authorities won't do much or even anything to you, or there will simply be a civil penalty rather criminal charges. It's different in each state. The highest figure I've come across for the percentage of people serving time for marijuana possession is 12%. Figures range from under 1% to 12%, depending on the source. What law are you talking about? The SCOTUS ruled a few years ago in Gonzales v. Raich that the federal ban on marijuana (including for medical use) is a-okay, and the feds can prosecute people for violating the ban, regardless of state law.

That potency thing I mentioned? Prohibition is a fantastic case study on the war on drugs and this is no exception. A lot of alcohol that was produced was mildly toxic and a lot of times pretty filthy, because there were no standards and no oversight, because nobody could make quality, legal alcohol. If anyone made anything, it would be bad. Same goes for the drugs in existence today (chem lab ecstasy or marijuana are both great examples) that are produced, transported and distributed in sub-par conditions and pose threats to the user that are aside from the normal chemical effects. Legalize them so drug and agricultural companies can produce them. And you know full well if the government did this, safety standards would be everywhere. And the big companies are too big to get that crap past the radar. Cheap, clean drugs would go on sale and the people who want them would start buying. It'd be like moving a Chipotle restaurant into a neighborhood where its only competition would be overpriced taco stands that fear the health inspector. Or like how sites like Stubhub have raped scalping of its ability to extort. Someone's going to suffer, badly. And fortunately, it won't be the customer either. |
