5 Favorite Law Enforcement Lies About Marijuana

5 Favorite Law Enforcement Lies About Marijuana | Before It's News

As a non smoker, I don't smoke Marijuana, I just heat up a bit of solid and eat it !!! If you wish you can get your favourite cake mix and add the missing ingredient, either solid or buds. The hash cafes, in Holland, do a wonderful selection of beautiful cake, sold in slices, with a cup of coffee.

I once read a story of two old dears in their 70's, who were passing through Amsterdam, going to tour the bulb fields. They had a few hours,sightseeing, in that lovely city and popped into a cafe, for a coffee. Noticing the cake on display, they had their two slices. They liked the cake so much, that they ordered another two slices. Well, off course, they ended up 'out their tree' and one tumbled into a canal.This happens quite a lot apparently.

On another visit I ended up doubled over, laughing, as I have done, many times, in Amsterdam. A Japanese group of school children, with teachers, were wandering through the red light district, hopelessly lost. Maps were out and turned this way and that, by the teachers. The kids had been marching along, in uniform, with their wee backpacks on, holding hands in twos, like a row of ants. Very orderly and well behaved. When the map huddle commenced, some of the kids started to bolt, to look into the sex shop windows and you could hear the oooos and ahhhso's as they viewed the sex toys and exchanged various hand signals, regarding where the things that they were looking at, fitted!!!.The older kids educating the younger ones, as happens all over the World.

Another morning, over coffee, in partial recovery mode, I nudged my two mates saying, 'do you see what I'm seeing?' You sometimes have to ask for confirmation. A young lady was wandering, well, weaving, really, up the street, towards us. She was wearing a white, Rab C Nisbet style string vest, purple panties and two odd high heeled shoes, which were several sizes too big. We learned, later, that she had been out and about, the night before and was invited to a party. She was plied with a cocktail of drink and drugs and robbed of her cloths, passport, papers travellers cheques and money. This had been her on route to a Police station, wearing what she found wherever she woke, naked and dazed. Of course, the party goers had gone. Passports are very valuable and should never be carried about. The hotels have lock boxes to put your money, travellers checks and passport into and you should only take out, with you, enough for each adventure. This is the dodgier side of Amsterdam in the raw. Let's face it most big cities are the same these days.

Twenty something American males, doing Europe in a fortnight, strangely enough, seem to delight in jumping off bridges, into the canals, late at night. You hear whoops and clapping and then a splash. We got so used to it that we just said to each other, 'another American shitfaced.' This was literally true, as the canals are the sewers of the city and rely on tidal movement to ebb and flow away crap, condoms, sanitary towels and other detritus.

The fire boats are the most fun. They all look like keystone cops with their shiny gold coloured helmets, belting along, making huge waves as they go, rocking the houseboats. They have two handled pumps, on board, which they use to pump up canal water to put out fires, which is actually quite clever, as they don't run out of water. I am sure clearing the crap out of a house, after a small fire, can't be much fun!

The houses are so narrow, in the city, that moving day can be fun. On top of every building there is a huge hook on the end of an extending beam. A boat comes up the canal, the beam is extended and the windows are removed in the flats. Ropes are attached to the furniture and up it goes, in the windows. Quite often, furniture is affected by gravity, due to old ropes or bad knots and the punter ends up with less furniture to polish!!

Amsterdam is a 'must see' place to go for everybody, of every persuasion. Anything that you can think of, is available, at the right price, in the red light areas. There should be similar legal areas, in every city, to act as a release valve for pent up emotions to be sorted out. If money changes hands and all parties are willing, what is the problem. It would surely stop some attacks on innocent people, in my opinion. If you don't want to go there, then don't, as you wish, but why stop others from doing so, as long as no harm is caused or coercion employed?.
