Comments on comments.
- I thought it cheeky for some to actually believe that Americans influence the Dutch cannabis trade more than the Brits, Germans, or Belgians. If cannabis were legalized in the UK, this would have more of a negative economic impact on The Netherlands than if the US were to legalize.
- reply to metal4mullets: I couldn't agree more with what you wrote. This is more or less why I decided to live in Europe. I love the idea of the US relaxing its attitude towards cannabis, but the majority of people are still wankers. Even if every State legalized cannabis and the US Govt minded its own business, I would not return to live there.
- reply to Marco: I would go as far as stating that they wouldn't be missed at all.
- reply to Twitch: My opinion is that you won't have to wait more than 5 years before seeing cannabis legalized somewhere in the world, most likely a State in the US.

Peace
Oh God, not another anti-American like Adamster the fuckhead.
So anyone that says anything other than a complete 100% i love America and all Americans is a 'fuckhead.'

Land of the free?
Not so free. I enjoy more personal freedoms in Germany than I ever did in the US. There is an old American saying, "America, love it or leave it." Even though I decided to leave, sort of, I still love my country and some of its people, mostly I love, admire, and respect what America is supposed to stand for: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I think we may have gotten a little off topic, my bad. Good luck to the Portland, OR shop and may many benefit from its existence.

Peace.

Is that supposed to be a threat?

I present ladies and gentlemen, why America & Americans are tainted by the same brush of ignorance and arrogance.

No, of course not. I will admit the tone was somewhat strong, but so was inferring that I am a fuckhead. You don't know me, yet you judge me simply because I voiced an opinion.
All of this unnecessary drama because I wrote "- reply to metal4mullets: I couldn't agree more with what you wrote. This is more or less why I decided to live in Europe.

Sad, totally sad.

If I may, I would say parts of America and some Americans are tainted, but not all. This is more or less like everywhere else in the world, some good some not so good.
Peace to you Sir Niall.

Calling Adamster a fuckhead is in no way calling all anti-Americanists fuckheads. I think your reading comprehension could use a little work. Seems like you'll jump at any opportunity to spew your anti-Americanism.

Yeah, not sure how Uncle Ron construed my calling Adamster a fuckhead into me calling him one. The only person on this forum who I'd like to give a beat-down is Adamster.

If Adamster refers to him or herself as a fuckhead, as in their signature, then I stand corrected. If this is the case, my apologies to DandCinOR and everyone else.
Now, to state that I jump at the opportunity to bash the US, much less anyone else is an outright lie. Feel free to look up every post I have submitted and show me and the world where I spew your so-called anti-Americanism.
Total fail. Go figure.
Peace.

As Stanky Danky pointed out, error in reading comprehension, my mistake. I was under the impression that you were referring to anyone that was anti-American as a fuckhead, and that you included me in your assessment.
Boy has this thread taken a wrong turn off the Jersey Turnpike.

Good luck Portland.

My last post to this thread.
I am not anti-American. I am, among many things, anti-ignorance and vocal about it. I think it safe to state that some, me especially, have made hasty assumptions in this thread.
I wish for all mankind - Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, not to mention legalized cannabis for personal consumption. :)
Good luck Portland.

Peace

It's all good Uncle Ron. For the record, I don't view you as anti-American. To be perfectly honest, I know a lot of people around the world don't approve of the actions and policies of the US government. However, the US government doesn't wage war by plebiscite. I respect everyone's right to have an opinion as well. But when someone like Adamster expresses their hatred over and over, again and again, it gets old. To be honest, Adamster reminds me of Hitler or Ahmadinejad with the repeated diatribes and vitriol. Everyone knows how he feels - what's the point of saying it over and over?

But anyway, like I said, it's all good. My apologies for any misunderstandings.
