| Comment | European drug laws just don't make sense sometimes.
In the Netherlands its still illegal to buy and sell weed, just decriminalised: you can be arrested for it but the *policy* is to not charge you for it.
So shops can exist as long as the police agree, which is shady as fuck because the police can just turn around and shut them down whenever they want, so essentially they've got to be paying someone off. On top of that, you're only allowed to grow 2 small plants, so who supplies the shops? Netherlands still have drug task forces who go out to look for cannabis farms. All they have to do is stake out a shop.
I'm all for legalisation but it has to be full proper legalisation or nothing in my opinion. |
