    Perhaps because Fascists have a history of incompetence too.

    Re: Mmmm Drugs!

    It is, of course, still illegal under federal law.

    The question then becomes how far will the state go to fight the feds. Arizona has recently faced off against the feds on immigration policy.

    Montana and a couple of others have passed firearms freedom acts, making it legal under state law to own new manufacture automatic weapons, which is against federal law. Litigation is on going.

    Which comes back to the mess of states rights versus federal rights. Can a man grow potatoes on his own land for his own consumption?

    It's almost like they fought a war on this issue...

    Re: Mmmm Drugs!

    Keep in mind as teepee has already said it is still illegal.

    Just as it is here in The Netherlands, it has in fact been decriminalised.

    There is a big difference between legal and decriminalised.

    If you decriminalise something the law against it is still on the books but it is no longer enforced.

    And the tourist ban in The Netherlands is still under debate, at this point it certainly has not been voted down. And the reason they want to ban tourists from smoking weed here is not monetary it is because people keep coming here getting high and then causing trouble. The biggest culprit of this being the brits.

    Indeed, when I was over there last on business people where saying that they'd like to restrict the use of the cafes and bordellos to the locals.

    I think its a case of a pressure release valve. When you have the option to legally do something every night, you don't feel the need to binge quite so much as when these people come on holiday.

    Drink, lots of Drink, drugs and sex are a recipe for disaster, if you are repressed!

    Re: Mmmm Drugs!

    Amsterdam is just Dineyland for adults My fave place in the world.

    The green
    The beer
    The architecture
    The canals
    The tram
    The pancakes
    The ladies
    The sex museum
    The people who sound like they have a Scottish accent, but you can't understand a word of what they are saying


    Top place, going back soon.

    Re: Mmmm Drugs!

    Right,

    melon, why is it that you are trying to spark off an argument with Madduck and TheAnimus?

    If this falls down into another row between members action WILL be taken this time around with all parties involved.

    Please be considerate towards other members when posting.

    Thanks

    Oh, i'm not going in there again, once was quite enough thank you very much. The Heineken tour on the other hand, when it's not super busy is worth a few goes.

    Re: Mmmm Drugs!

    No,

    Aiming remarks that could be taken the wrong way by another user could end up causing another mass argument and thread need tidying up like previous threads where this has happened.

    Simple as that.

    Biscuit, the Mods will wield the Banhammer only as a last resort, we are still very hopeful that self moderation and common sense will prevail.

    Just be nice, thats all.
