Amsterdam becoming illegalized?

This is why we need open free discussion. People have differing beliefs, now, certain issues aren't necessarily going to be as simple as 'right or 'wrong' there are many factors about cannabis. I strongly believe that any government should not have the power to restrict my freedom or liberty because i am consuming cannabis. As society, i believe it is our duty to respect each other and help each other, to progress our civilization as a whole. If i am not causing harm to anyone, then i should not be imposed apon by penalty of law. What is harm? Harm is physical damage, it is the breach of any one of my human rights, my interests. Words are words, they are not harm, offense is not harm. When i consume cannabis i cause no offense, i do not harm others because it is a self regarding action. We must continue to support our cause, a just cause. The truth shall set you free because knowledge is power.

A smoking ban DOES come in to place next year - just like the one here in the UK.

No, I'm not kidding.

Same as the current public buildings smoking ban in the 'Dam at the moment.

Coffeeshops will have to provide a seperate smoking area either out the back or on the roof.

Dutch smoking ban to cover coffee shops | Oddly Enough | Reuters

But then again weed is still illegal - so let's see if it actually gets enforced ;)

I'm off there in April before this BS kicks-in

July eh, i've still got time to go before it starts. They say the ban only applies to tobacco =]
Still, it sounds like they're just gonna make a hotbox room lol and smoking on roofs is usually kool.

"Establishments will not in fact have to be completely smoke-free. Proprietors will be allowed to set up a separate room or glass partition behind which people can smoke"

Glass partition sounds cool..

yep so many ppl goto amsterdam for the coffeshops they would lose alot of buisness

Don't worry, it's easy enough to get pot here in states...and you dont have to pay for a plane ticket or hoes when your there.

I'm looking forward to not having to put up with people waving cigarettes in my face at work. As for the coffeeshops, so long as I can still buy my hash I don't care if I can't smoke it anywhere public.

it would be a sad sad say to see amsterdam illegalize MJ

Very true ^^^

SAD SAD SAD day

at tokyo airport they had these wikid smoking areas, they where in the main building but they where squared off and seperated by massive walls of air blowing through from the floor to the ceiling, with a massive extraction fan in the roof and in alligh with the floor vents. It made like a self contained room. no smoke could get out and because of all the air you didnt smell at all. it was wikid.

they should just build those and im for them in the uk aswell. theres no physical way the smoke can get out and there damn cool to walk into.
