Alcohol is dangerous.. it makes you stupid. And people get killed as a result. Pot is benign, it enhances your awarenes.. so we're NOT going to let you have it. Go get drunk and beat someone up so we can throw you in jail instead. Or go kill someone on the road. Isn't it ironic that you're not supposed to drink and drive, and shouldn't.. because it's dangerous.. and yet you can driv to a bar..and drive away drunk. Bars are everywhere. |

Whit a bunch of flowers in them, ofcours. And if they succeed in their plans, there will be a lot of willingly Dutchmen providing you, as a tourist, with pot, weed, hasj, or whatever you like... With it's own price, as you understand. Idiots. I'm not your enemy, you are... © 2004, Maus E. Only your thoughts create your world. © 2015 Maus E.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1406104Imagine - every local a potential dealer now. They'll get sick of tourists cozying up to them. Ah, what a loss to that city. Hope it recovers its economy.

The dutch don't really use drugs - that's for the tourists. If there is one thing the dutch are addicted to, it's money. And when they start jonesing for their next fix, they'll let people sell drugs to the tourists again. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1408172 United States 05/31/2011 04:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bah. Overpriced and over rated anyhow. Now that Michigan has Medical Cannabis- a small fee to the state of $125.00 and a doctors note gets you into our own Local weed shops which have every strain available in Amsterdam (more or less)but FAR CHEAPER. I went to Amsterdam years ago (in the late 1990's) and it was a blast but honestly for the price of the trip and the overpriced weed- I could have stayed home and bought myself a Pound of the killer (the gift that keeps on giving). It was just cool to be able to smoke in a "coffee shop" but NOT WORTH IT. Amsterdam is doing this because they are not getting a ton of Pot tourism from the US anymore now that over half of our states have medical marijuana. The revenue is better off staying IN COUNTRY as we need it. |
