Weed legalised in 2 USA states

[scissorhands]

Thing I have learnt on the te interwebz forums...

1. People have different points of view

2. Some people do not want to ever question their point of view

2a. The people in point 2 seem to have a lot of time on their hands

2b. The people in point 2 seem reluctant to accept point 1

3. Logic is powerless in the face of obduracy

I'm thinking apathy is still a good proposition, in light of recent comments and beliefs.
Bad science has always shocked me, lets blame some addictions on that too

but maybe you have been hanging out in corners where you would get offered some sex, drugs and rock and roll.

"Hey, man, I've got this Marshall amp that will blow your mind!!"

its not the same.

One of the most interesting things about the Beatles is that in the late '50's the then five piece Beatles (John, Paul, George, Pete Best the original drummer, and Stu Sutcliffe the original bass player) did a two year stint in Hamsterdam, and had a residency at a dive club on the Reeperbahn. You name it, they did it. From memory they did another stint there before returning to Liverpool. So by 62 when they made it huge, they had been a band for a long time....

this tourist on her 3 day stay in sidney stayed in a hostel on Kings Road......one morning early while on the way to score some latte one of the working girls smiled at me (her nick name was the stewardess due to her dress) and offerd just that sex, drugs and rock n roll. I very politly declined.


however this never happend in St. George (where the Reeperbahn is located, yes I did live in Hamburg, working for an Oil company) nor in Amsterdam, or in New York.

i get drunk after two beers. I would not suggest you share the road with me after these two beers.

one reason I dont drink anything but coffee and lemonade on a ride.


however, you will find more people drunk on the road than stoned.
and sadly drink driving is accepted.

but weed is evil!

Different for everyone i guess. I am definitely not drunk on 2 beers but i would definitely be high on 1 toke.
More people drunk because more people drink, numbers game really.
Don't really want to share the road with either to be honest.

but one is legal and one is not.

sorry, but this is another one of those rumors that aint true. Happend so that I lived and worked in the Netherlands for a couple of years for an international sports company, what can I say, I did it.

.

Yes it did happen it is true. maybe since you lived there it was just normal behavior?

As a tourist i was shocked at how bad it was never felt safe the whole week we where there.
I would have to say you are partially right about Amsterdam as the rest of the Netherlands is fantastic but the main reason they flock there is the drugs.
Remove the drugs remove the scum that is associated with them.

but one is legal and one is not.

Easy fix. Just make it illegal to drive after any drink at all!! Done!
Drink is possibly legal due to one being able to have a couple of beers or a wine and not be affected as such, have 1 toke and you effected straight away.

Yes, because NZ is so safe that no one ever gets bashed while walking down the street by a bunch of drunk muppets.

Alternatively legalize the drugs elsewhere as well and they wont congregate in Amsterdam but then half their tourist business disappears as well.

easy fix, just ban alcohol as well.

Brilliant idea!

it is the soft cock approach to those that are breaking the law that is the problem.
Amsterdam has the reputation for a reason, like I said the rest of the country is fine, well mostly.

[BoristheBiter]

Brilliant idea!

thanks i knew you would agree.

When was the last time you had a toke?

[scissorhands]

People who never drink can/will be dangerous after only half a beer
the same holds true both ways
