Making it legal, more tourists?

[Psyolopher]

Well our economy is so incredibly fucked that the whole country is in a crisis!
Would legalizing Mary Jane, make more tourists come?
Wouldn't it increase our income in an average?
We're only 300 thousand here!
I think just making it legal, and start to make it into a business would increase
our economy!
Profit profit profit, on all sides!
Except for christian fascists!

Just look at this:

Do you agree? or not?
Didnt Holland go up up up up up up and up?

I mean, it is a valuable recourse that is just waiting to get out of the black market!

It would make people more laidback, so they couldn't care less about economics. Great ideas are born from laziness.


& Why would people fly all the way to iceland for weed?


Reason they don't make it legal is because of international agreements between Europe and the US.

That i know of!
But people already travel here a lot, but it is expensive!
But think of all the potheads who want to travel to Iceland?
OR potheads who never been to iceland, and they live maybe in a country that is closer to Iceland, than Holland?!
I also think it would be a great cultural benefit, and if it would be an economic one!
This is pure positive!

 

[Psyolopher]

btw, we are also a very voilent culture!
Always constant drunk assholes fighting all the time, down town!
Its time to reduce that also!

I think you have a good idea.

The spread of cannabis should be relentlessly advocated by all open minded people.

hah I had the same discussion yesterday with non smokers (didn't say I was a smoker though) just said it jokingly, wouldn't that be good for the economy?

and they all agreed

Plus you can tax it instead of having white money flowing into black markets. So you win on two fronts.

Yes, well thats already obvious!
Like i said, this is a resource waiting to be used, and taxed!
So yeah, I totally agree!

drug tourism sucks, btw.

Prices go up, quality goes down.

Is that true?
SO was my idea just a naive and optimistic attempt to save our economy?
:/

I'm talking about the Dutch situation, where weed is still in a grey area legally. To make it totally legal would probably get some good businesses started growing some killer weed, but right now it is just people trying to make an easy buck, without much respect for both the plant and the user.

 

[Psyolopher]

Thats a shame!
btw do you know if the crime rate hos gone up there?
I've heard rumors about it!

 

[Forkbender]

^what crimes are you talking about?

Druglaw-enforcement has become more strict the last couple of years, especially on cannabis and mushrooms, but also on junkies and the like. They make more arrests, so I guess you could propagandate that the crime rates have gone up.

I live in belgium, the neighbouring country... prices go up here too... so I doubt it has a lot to do with the Dutch situation

 

[Forkbender]

^It's a result of stricter drug law enforcement by the police. More police=Only stupid people grow weed=bad weed at a high price.
