With so many coffeeshops around and yet they still try to sell you weed. I guess some ignorant tourists do buy from them. Why I'll never know. Maybe too young to get into a cs? Strange. One Love.

Yup. tis true. My brain was trying to tell me this before clicking the submit button.

It still holds that :-
1. Street dealers are a PITA
2. Users would prefer not to buy off the street (both literally and metaphorically)

Basically, I was trying to say that when I've been wandering around certain areas of the 'dam, I've wished that there were legal coke/ecstacy cafes - to remove this annoyance.

Also, it is apparent to me that this reaction to the increasing levels of drug tourism only goes to highlight just how absurd the whole situation is.

It isn't. SourD frequently opts to attack individuals rather than ideas. Perhaps someday he will embrace an approach which will make people more receptive to his own ideas.

Personally, I think all drugs should be legalized. If some moron wants to pump his veins full of chemical crap, that's none of my concern. If he/she commits a criminal act in that pursuit, then throw his/her ass in prison. Then, he/she would be a real criminal, and exactly where he/she belongs. If an addict seeks treatment, then provide treatment.

Any thought that the criminalization of drugs is less destructive than outright legalization is misguided. It is perpetuated only by those who have taken an ideological stance, the uneducated, and those narrow-minded enough to overlook the slaughter of innocent victims and destruction of personal and professional lives in some zany belief that criminalization protects anyone.

^ Thanks.

I cannot understand marijuana smokers who wish marijuana to be legalised, yet not anything else. It resembles the same intolerant hypocrisy that we have to face from the beer-swilling, fag-smoking straights.

ROOOOOOOSENDAAAAL! damn, i been going to this place for over 10 years, as i grew up in Brussels, this little dutch city is only over an hour by train from the Belgian capital and had great coffee shops (exept the yellow moon that got the worst stuff and service ever).

AZUL's coffee shop is my favorite, its owned by some morocans people, and i been going there since 98 to get my gear!

I can't believe they gonna close it down, Roosendaal RIP, amnesia haze at 9euros/gr, RIP :(:(:(

I'm not sure the site has an official stance, but clearly the people who post here will have opinions on this issue.

I'm sure there will be a lot who agree with you, but I'm afraid to say that I'm not one of them (assuming you support a status quo with regard to other drugs).


Perhaps we should discuss the issue in another thread (although I'm sure it will have been disussed before - I'm too noobish to know).
