    If they were to legalize pot they shouldn't tax it and regulate it all that much, but they should say that you can't call it marijuana unless that's all it is, without added chemicals. I don't wan't pot to be made legal only to find out that it's full of jwh or some artificial shit like that.

    Basically I don't want the stuff they put in this to be in my pot. I want it to stay natural, so if they legalize it I think people shouldn't be allowed to market it as "marijuana" unless it is just marijuana.

    So, if I understand this right, this stuff gives you a worse trip, is more dangerous, is more expensive and is legal in the US?

    Kinda, it gives you a more intense trip, is addicting and dangerous if taken often, and is significantly cheaper due to the fact that it's legal. I worry that is they legalized pot then they would start mixing it with that shit.

    Not really, there's an age restriction on it, which isn't the case for candy bars the last time I checked. You can also only buy 15%+ alcohol content in liquor stores. Which is fine by me, they should do the same thing with marijuana.

    But why'd they legalize that shit and not the real stuff?

    But seriously, it's really small restrictions.

    AN-AR-CHI-SM, AN-AR-CHI-SM!

    It's not that they legalized it, things don't just start off illegal. They just never illegalized it. Well, they tried, but everytime the DEA makes one of those chemicals illegal, they just switch to a different chemical.

    Indeed, we get free weed with every candy bar we buy. I have so much weed now that I'm forced to hand it out on the streets.


    Yes, but it's not as easy to buy alcohol as it used to be. You know have to show your ID for example, which didn't used to mandatory. I still get asked for my id sometimes and I'm 19. It's a decent system overall in my opinion, it somewhat restricts underage drinking and it doesn't punish people who drink responsibly (i.e. me).

    Have you seen Bill o'Reilly talking about the Netherlands? I think he smoked some funny stuff when he was doing that.

    Officially you're obliged to show your ID up to 20 years.

    Yeah, he made it look like Amsterdam is actually some sort of anarchy. It's funny as hell but sad at the same time. Anyone that bothers to check some facts for one second can prove he's clearly wrong, but facts seem to be entirely optional for a TV show host that reaches millions.

    True, but that rule makes no sense whatsoever. How do they know you're under the age of 20 when you haven't showed them your ID yet? Do they have some kind of magical power that detects people's age? They would have to guess, which kinda defeats the purpose. It's a stupid rule either way.

    American news media gave up on facts long long ago.

    Fact free politics became standard in the US, and it's also reaching the Netherlands now. Look at this:







    Haha, I guess...

    Their support seems to be receding though, so that shows that at least some people are reconsidering voting for a fascist party.

    I've seen it before, it's almost too rediculous to be real. This is something that you'd expect to be satire.

    I think we should all be able to agree that the PVV is too stupid to rule a country, and I personally can't believe they are the driving force of this government...

    Most of them are incompetent fools, other MP's are criminal scum, and some of them are both.
