I used to work up the flower market in Birmingham, a bloke up there got done for it about a few years back.
I swear you go down there in the morning early and everyone has a joint on, crazy.
I got stopped aswell in a works van on the way to work and wondered why, and clearly in the back of the Van all the boxes had Amsterdam written on. Funny as fuck

Which probably doesn't reflect well on how they treated their 'flowers'. If they let their money go moudly, I can't imagine what the state of the herbs would be... Sound like exactly the sort of crew that would be flogging on sprayed buds!Kingdoc wrote:Yes i seen this,They had so much money it got mould.

Shows the true need for coffeeshops here,The only problem here is people having to deal with crooks & gangsters like them,But saying that if the govt does nothing we have to make out own luck! so in a way good on them.
I have worked in many different industries and many of them are gangsters, I wouldnt say everyone, but there are many.....if anyone could get a license and not only people who have been in for years or pay some politicians, there would be "good shops" .......since it is the way it is, there are many criminalsBoner wrote:I wouldn't say every industry.
I too have worked for many differant people/businesses and the majority have been from my knowledge legit, the worst ones are always where a lot of cash changes hand which is why I said what I said in the first place, there aren't many coffeeshops in Amsterdam/Holland that accept plastic.

Dont get me wrong I'd love for us to have some coffeeshops but Holland and now the US is proving the opposite regarding prices, they're constantly going up, what we need is the whole world to legalise it then we might see prices come down a fraction.Kingdoc wrote:Boner wrote:Even if we had coffeeshops here you'd find a lot would be run/owned by crooks.
It cant be any worse than what we have now,We spend billions each year while they make it! at least we would have choice thus driving the prices down.

If they try that just go elsewhere! or better still we should be allowed 1 plant for personal use just like belgium,Or simply let us get it from headshops & take home? we do have got options like its just the will isnt there,I just wish i could get 4 grams of superb HSB polm at a mere 20 euros here! whats that about 17 quid?,That would last me the week like! & i wouldnt have to phone toe rags or gangsters either .

It would be nice to just have the choice(freedom of choice), if you want to go buy some weed than you can and if you don't, then you don't.
Most of these places would most probably be run by criminals, like Boner said. As for cheaper prices would it happen, im at not so sure.
8/10 year ago, we was getting good bud(dam quality) for a good price -£20 a henry/8th or 140 on the oz. Now we have to pay more money for lesser quality weed, that is norm wet and uncured, straight off the plant, so would prices come down or would they stay the same or go up? would the quality go up aswell?, you would hope so, but then the prices would most prob go up to. Its a no win situation.
The best bet would be being allowed to grow up to 5 plants under anything up to a 600hps at your own home, and not be done for it. Anything over that you get done for, that way you get a constant supply of quality weed that you have grown yourself and if your mates grew to then you can swap differant strains, in my ideal world
