Ben Dronkers talks about the Dutch Marijuana Repression by AdventuresInEurope.com

[KROGER299]

Goverments r fuckin hypocrites they say weed is harmfull yet they guzzle down alcohol which kills ppl everyday

greetz from holland

[doinmyownthing]

In the UK there are millions of people who smoke weed but the government stil won't legalise it! Personally I think they're nuts and should stop their piontless prohibition! If governments legalised it cannabis would make the world a much better place.

[darkmysterii]

serious people why should you ban a plant

at the dollar there is written in god we(ed) trust so if god created the world and everything he must have created cannabis too

i am glad i am from holland

[Melokaliju]

[MrDionysos23]

[groooveman85]

@KlasseR9C Wenn du dich informieren willst solltest du mal ein Buch lesen, es gibt dutzende zum Thema. Anstatt zu versuchen vielbeschäftigte Coffeeshopbesitzer zu nerven ;-)

[cavello89]

@MrDionysos23 Very slim chance that it's a good string of Amnesia, as good Amnesia would be a Sativa, not an Indica. For 8 euro's you won't be able to get 1 gram of Sativa-string. For good weed, like the gentleman above is aiming at, you will have to pay at least 10 euro's p/g. Even at the best shops.

[tedatlas]

This is surprising and sad to hear at the same time. I hope Holland doesn't end up like here (America). No government should be able to ban something that isn't harmful to the consumer.

[adventuresineurope]

@tedatlas Thanks for your comments... D

[cavello89]

@tedatlas Especially since the reason why it's banned in America isn't legit. Technically they only wanted to ban hemp. When the rule came through the people of the U.S. didn't even know hemp was banned, they just didn't want blacks and mexicans smoking weed and raping white woman, as they falsely advertised in privately owned newspapers. It's a sick world we live in, that's for sure.

@adventuresineurope Hi Big-D.People like Ludo,Bret and this guy,,they have smoked weed in many many years,,and look at them,,they look normal.compare those people to people who drinks alcohol,,they look like homless people.Alcohol should be illegal,NOT weed.F**king government controlls us :( Greetings to you Big-D.Sorry for my bad english :)

[adventuresineurope]

@TheKonrad1984 Hello and Thank you for your comments.

[Robsty88]

i live in holland and i smoke every day.

5 years ago i could create 3 joints out of 5 euro(1 gram)

Now a days i can build 1 maybe 1,5 joint out of the same price. I think in 10 years we don't have koffieshops anymore here. So all people who wanna come and smoke a joint. Your invited in Groningen (holland) to join me.

[adventuresineurope]

Hello Robsty, thank you for stopping by and for your great comments. Groningen here we come! D

[brukernavn142]

@Robsty88 why do u think the coffee shops will close down

[Robsty88]

@brukernavn142

Drugs runners, schools nearby, the shit they put in the weed to make it heavy like flour and iron sharps, The new ways for the police to find the plantations like the sniffer helicopter and a coffeeshop can only be taken over by familie members.

I really dont hope so because its a great deal of income for our country. (sorry for the typing mistakes. i'm dutch

[djRen78]

This man speaks the truth....

The police know that their job is on the line if Cannabis is to become a legal product!

They don't want to get involved with the criminals in the Cocaine industry because they know it could get them killed!

In the meantime, those same criminals are are taking over the Cannabis industry....

If they keep prohibiting it (close the Cofeeshops) there's gonna be mayhem, like in Juarez Mexico i'm afraid...

[adventuresineurope]

Great comments jdRen78, thanks for sharing your thoughts... D

[yellowgroove]

California is in serious talks on making it 100% legal, they as well as many states are broke and over budget, California said it would bring in 4 Billion annually if it was regulated and controlled and it would cut down on the violence of the drug gangs and criminal elements and all the violence South of the Border in Mexico since the price would drop and why buy from a drug gang when you can get it from your local super market for cheap? we are close, and i support it 100%

[brukernavn142]

@yellowgroove yep but they did not make it legal

[yellowgroove]

What makes me mad is that Alcohol and tobacco kills thousands and thousands yearly from liver and lung cancer, not to mention alcohol related traffic accidents/deaths. never heard of a fatal car crash just from toking on a little weed, never heard of an overdose from weed, this is a miracle plant, not a drug that kills. most can function better at work because it reduces stress, employers should allow it, they just are not there yet. free the weed! its only a plant that heals more than it hurts

[allekans]

who control s this mad world

it all about power and media

and hard drugs money and lets blame it on those potsmoking growing hippies

and blame it on the one plant which gives the control back to the people

well you can fool the people one time

but you can t fool them all the time

weed can and will save this world the day the dollar dies and with it it s money making system for a few which inslaves the many

stand up be free grow the seeds millions of them

[metalf919]

This sucks i thought they where cool over there

[yellowgroove]

Nice video, here in the USA, we are on the verge of Marijuana reform! my home state has de criminalized it to the point you only get a small fine for amounts up to 250 grams. the new president actually has a new law where they are no longer going to prosecute suppliers or go after them. in California, there are more " medical " marijuana shops than there are starbucks coffee shops! you say you have trouble sleeping and you can get a prescription for weed. we are going opposite of Europe.

[SpAcYmEn]

here in the Netherlands our leaders are turning into anti-marijuana idiots.

think they are getting scared of the potentials of THC :)

it can cure cancer and from THC people start to THINK :) instead of alcohol, to much alcohol will turn every smartass into a dumb monkey, the centre of our cities on Satarday night ae the proof :)

[adventuresineurope]

I couldn't agree with you more my friend. Thanks for your comments. D

[adventuresineurope]
