    "shakes head"

    Won't work. It will only drive those "tourists" to street sellers and give us even more trouble. No I think that Europe should get it's head out of his arse for once and legalise it. Just give it to the market and put a VAT plus excise tax on it (that will be put into prevention and rehabilitation programs) and then we can focus on crime issues that actually matter and damn it would be a nice little earner for both the market and the treasury in all countries involved.

    Talk about killing two birds with one stone. up



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    If you're referring to Muslims in the immigration queue, then I'm different, because I'd actually make an effort to become Dutch if I moved there.

    Of course, I'd remind my children that they have Acadian blood in their veins, but they'd be Dutch... I wouldn't even let them sew a Canadian flag on their backpack.

    I appreciate that but I think that unless you have a Dutch husband you might just as well stay there and try to make sure that Canadian provinces legalise (or at least decriminalise) cannabis and thus make it available to the market.

    We're a bit full here I am afraid.

    Of course presuming those "tourists" will still come .

    Let's hope they won't but have no illusions: in most countries it's either illegal or barely decriminalised and it will take some time before the news reaches the U.S..

    Weed has been decriminalized here (as long as it's for personal use), but not legalized.

    Anyways, I wouldn't move to the Netherlands unless I had a Dutch husband. I don't think I'd be able to handle the stress of living in a culture I know very little about alone. It would be too hard for me to integrate because I am quite shy IRL, so I'd need some help. Dutch boys are hot, though. :

    Pretty sure that banning other EU citizens from it while allowing it for Dutch citizens would violate EU laws. I think they could ban non-EU citizens from it though.
