That's true, it is still illegal to possess it, but the punishments are minimal. They come down hard on growers though.
Thanks AJ

| weaveworld said: legalize it. oh no over here it is already somewhat legal We call places where they sell pot coffeeshops, and it is completely legal to buy 5 gram each. Only thing is, here in the Netherlands they have made a mess of it by creating a policy that allows you to buy pot in designated (coffee)shops but it is illegal to grow pot(at least more than 3 plants that is). (anyone remember Pulp Fiction opening?) So it is really interesting to grow your own pot (illegal), and make huge profit and a lot of people do so... If only the government would completely legalize it and take production into their own hands. That way i think they can really do something about the illegal money-making and make it much less interesting for dealers/criminals. |
I did not know that it was illegal to grow in Holland
Yeah. How else are we gonna be able to stand to read Rol's posts?

Everybody knows they're unhealthy and basically stupid, and we have laws against doing them too young or buying them for minors, and it's illegal to drive drunk or do drugs at schools. It would be the same for any new drugs that get legalized. |
But my god, the crack ho's would get much skankier.

Well that's what we call a fringe benefit.
As a political science major, I am quite familiar with this subject. The reasons for ending drug prohibition are numerous. I will not list all of the reasons here, but I will list a few major reasons:
A decrease in crime. Ending drug prohibition would decrease crime in a couple of ways. It would eliminate the main source of income for most gangs. Without this income, gangs will not have the resources to purchase weapons. It will lower the costs of producing drugs thereby lowering the price to obtain drugs. If drugs are less expensive, drug users are less motivated to commit crimes in order to obtain drugs.
The economic cost of drug prohibition. The War on Drugs has not only led to an explosion in the prison population, but has also led to much money being wasted on ineffectual domestic and foreign drug prohibition enforcement. Ending prohibition would also yield a net increase of aprroximately $15 billion (contingent on eliminating enforcement efforts and marijuana being taxed the same rate as alcohol and tobacco) for the federal government.
There are also philisophical reasons to end drug prohibition. The belief that what one does in private should not be regulated by the government. That a consenting adult should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies, including the recreational use of drugs, as long as they do not harm others.
I could list more reasons, but I believe these reasons suffice.
