I agree. That's a point for you, because I did not mention that I advocate cannabis use for adults only. Therefore I did not take into account teenagers that much. I still want to add though that cannabis is known to have a lasting changing effect on the character of a person if consumed regularly for some time, which may be years. That change is not necessarily a negative one, as suggested by the main stream media. And even though science has started to look into the importance of the cannabinoid system in our brain, many things are not clear, therefore not decidable yet, such as the connection between the chemical effects and character change. People like me know that cannabis is not as harmless as chewing gum, but at the same time we feel cheated, turning this argument into a comparison with the socially accepted but far more dangerous drug alcohol. We feel cheated, that's why we always nag you about the well-worn comparison between cannabis and alcohol, and we do have more than one point in doing so. We don't want alcohol to be outlawed, we want both drugs available! How can people outside the Netherlands argue against legalization claiming that cannabis is this bad to you and that bad to society, when the country of Netherlands and its people do so well? The reason why it's still kind of legal to acquire and smoke cannabis in NL is not the course of the government. The local political organs, in fact every city and count have enough power to keep the business cannabis alive. Everytime local polls and referenda turn out to keep things as they are. Just ask a camping site director what kind of crowd he likes better - drunkards or stoners. I did the test in Germany and Netherlands, and the answer was always the same.  I don't necessarily believe that in the 'big picture' everything would become better if legalization happened, but i sure as well guarantee that we wouldn't be worse off  |
