Default Will the Smoking Ban hurt the profitable Marijuana trade?!!!

In Amsterdam that is . . .

Most likely it will only help to cure those Europeans of that nasty habit of diluting their pot with tobacco.

Meh. They're just following the smoking ban frenzy. Italy actually passing a countrywide ban was more of a shocker.


I still wonder if Greece would even consider making such a move. You know the babies come out of the birth canal with an already-lit cigarette there. No lie.

[If you don't smoke and you happen to make your way into Athens, you'll understand what I'm talking about--the entire country is a great big VFW hall.]

There is no way in hell that Amsterdam is going to hurt the number one source of tourism. What happened when Jim Morrison was going to be evicted from Paris? OOPS, a dead gut was the number four draw for Paris tourism. I think we will keep him. No way they can ban smoking wacky tobaccy in Amsterdam.

No the article says some of the cafes are planning to interpret the ban as only applying to tobacco and also installing little glassed in "tobacco zones" for those insist on mixing their smokes.

You still smoke all the weed...and it gives you a more even, mellow high when you smoke it mixed with tobacco like a cigarette, puffing into your mouth and then inhaling instead of drawing straight into your lungs like Americans do. And wasting weed...in Amsterdam...right. People leave 3/4 of a joint in the ashtray. It's 4 Euro for a cappucino and big cone shaped hash cigarette.

Ummmm, all of the above is from wokopedia, I have no personal knowledge.

Blends have their place I think - even the most veteran top quality smoker cannot go over there and smoke some of the Amsterdam strains of marijuana without either a. falling out of their chair or b. crawling out of the coffeeshop

i read that in wikipedia too...
