Do you think that people in Amsterdam live outside the law?

Each state has authority to desgin it s own laws. So far i don t hear bad things about Holand. It has a good economy, i don t hear anything special about an increased crime rate. As long as it works out fine i don t really think there should be problems. I m not saying it s good or bad. And tbh as long as there are countries where slaughtering dolphins for restaurant food is legal i wouldn t place Holand anywhere near the top countries with messed up laws.:)

Well since it is their law then they are not breaking any thing. There is no world law that states that smo-king (Sorry this is an unallowed phrase) weed is illegal, and there are other countries where it is perfectly accepted. Most of these are in South America and many have rules to abide by, like only in small usage, medical usage, non-sales etc. There are Asian countries as well.

i know that different places have different laws. i think some places might just be more lenient about their laws

Hopefully in a couple of years others will see the benefits rise and the negatives drop and follow their foot steps. The question you have to ask is where do you want to draw the line. It's good to draw the line under weed.
