bought some bad ass amnesia at the rokerij yesterday...8 euro.fair price.

[adventuresineurope]

@MrDionysos23 That is a fair price... I love Amnesia Haze... : ) D

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.

@tedatlas Thanks for your comments... D

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%

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

@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.

[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.

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

[pjicleanair420]

its cannabis liberation day in the westerpark

its a great festival with a big market lots of music and of course lots of marijuana

hope to see you there and to smoke some stuff with you

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
