In Hamilton Ontario, the 1st marijuana cafe has been opened for about a week or so. You go in with your own..."products" and smoke in there. It resembles alot of the coffee shops in Amsterdam.
Apart from in amsterdam you buy your shit in there, and they give out free papers, free roach, and have high quality but cheap stuff.
By that I mean all weed, no coffee.
Weed? WEEED? No man most of the shit you will find in amsterdam will be High Grade Skunk. There are some weeds there. Bit of Thai, and there are some really good slabs of hash too. But Skunk is what is smoked.
However, the dream seems to be going down. Yesterday the police made their first arrest in relation to the Up in Smoke Cafe. They arrested a 76 year old woman and charged her with possession of a narcotic substance. Wait...hold on a minute. They arrested a 76 year old woman? Yep...that's right. Oh police, what will you do next?
Sounds like the Western world to me (america/canada) - my friends got a years probabtion and 3 drug tests or something for having 1 joint on them. how gay is that?
Over here they quite often don't take ur shit off you unless they suspect you of dealing. Its not quite as relaxed as amsterdam yet but England is progressing in the right direction at least.
And you know.. because of America... Holland may soon not have those Coffee shops, because america has been putting the pressure on the world that its a bad thing.
