RE: The Netherlands, the most open country for marijuana in the past 50 years!
Hi @cloudblade
I've been in Amsterdam few times already and even lately I was amazed to witness how people are okey with usage of M.
In my opinion by legalizing marijuana this country managed to get rid of "black market" (which always attract very unusual kind of people).
And people know what they are buying. They are also more aware. And goverments have great profit from taxes. That's my view at the moment.
Upvote on the way :)
Cheers,
Piotr
Amsterdam is not exactly a good example of the Netherlands.
People, there are completely different if it comes to attitude and by now there are more foreigners as Dutchmen. Whole parts of the city are a dump.
Rotterdam is the same, but the tolerance is there as long as you do not bother other people. It is seen as smoking, although you can bake a cake too or use it over your pizza.
A bit of a user grows his own plants and tax has zero, no profit. With 5 plants a person, you can do interesting things. You really think the police knocks on every door? As long as neighbours are not complaining about the smell and there is nothing weird with the electricity bill you can grow more too.
Btw the only thing I can, even have to, pay with bitcoin Is if I buy cannabis online. They can trace me (tax) but not the seller.
You can also ask your doctor for a recipe. If you get it it is for free.
Indeed no one steals car radios etc any longer.
Now we are stabbed in the back, scolded at, spit and threatened by gangs of foreigners who think we accept everything and pay whatever they ask.

I think the government is want paying taxes, saying that it can reduce the drug use rate is an excuse.

Didn't you go in and take a look?
I heard that they have >1,000 cannabis cafes,
The convenience such as 7-11.
They have 1000 just in Amsterdam? For sure mainly for the tourists. They also sell seeds and other stuff you might need and do not have every cannabis (we call it wiet there is).
You should now see California, Colorado, and Oregon! The black market is very much alive and thriving though, which im sure it is over there. But with time im sure we will see the shift.
