Getting high is miles better than being ****ed...

no reason why cannibis is illegal imho, people get stoned and chill out... when some people are ****ed they turn aggressive.

If spotted by the police you should be arrested and your canibis confiscated.
Using it in public place is illegal according to the tax payer funded ad in the newspaper today.

As someone who's never seen the need to smoke cigs let alone do anything stronger (canibis when smoked near me just gives me a stinking headache), could any users who feel able please explain to me why you need to do it?

The study of 100 regular and 90 casual users of cannabis found 74 per cent admitted getting into their cars while under the influence of the drug. This was despite 70 per cent saying they believed that using it had impaired their driving ability

Don't forget you helped pay for the study into whether it should be reclacified.
The ads alone cost ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1milli on
Take your pick of the other places that money could have been better spent.

So, to recap
canibis is now a class C drug
the police themselves are now confused
users are now confused (ok they were probably confused before, but only when smoking it)
over ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1milli on has been spent
it's still illegal
the law says you will still get arrested

So what exactly was the point of reclasifying it?

To show that we have a 'right on, groovy' kind of government?

I've just had a thought.
Perhaps this is to prevent TB embarassment when his son his caught with canibis?

Well the only reference I can find after a few minutes googling is to an experiment in Switzerland, not The Netherlands, and AFAIK the Swiss don't have the same "tolerance policy" to cannabis that the Dutch do, so I don't see this as a valid comparison.

If you have any cites relating to Holland I'd welcome you posting them.

Can you post the links you've found as I may be wrong, I think it was about 10 years ago. I know it wasn't amsterdam (I remember at the time being suprised Amsterdam wasn't used), but have a sneeking suspicion it was Rotterdam
