It hurts to watch the Dutch go down the same road as America, spending millions on prohibition. Soon I think that complete prohibition will come to the Netherlands. The Police presence will be like that of some Scandanavian countries and in America --- overwhelming. What a buzzkill. I have to believe that soon there will be little police copters all over the place in Amsterdam.
It is not my home country, so I can not say what is best for the Dutch. If the majority appreciate the police state, then that is that, I guess. It is a democratic choice, and I must live with that. But it is sad to watch........
It really is sad to watch.
This is my home country and I can tell for sure, that since all this preventing
from marijuana started about 10 years ago. Things have only gone worse.Growing marijuana has become a somewhat dangerous thing in Holland. And people get killed over it now! This used to be the land of freedom and a great(do your thing just don`t bother me with it) mentality.
But that is all just gone now, it really is sad to see it change like this.
