I don't think your idea of the Netherlands is right man.
I'm actually surprised by how much and how open you discuss drugs here.
I get the feeling it's more of a taboo here than it is there
.
And as I mentioned: I manage without drugs just fine and altough the risks may be limited, I wouldn't know why I would want to risk my health when I don't need to.
I'm already a bit of a fat guy, so I already have one health concern.
But I love to be amongst potsmokers.
Altough most of my close friends don't do drugs, I always feel right at home in an alternative café or a music café amongst stoners. They're the nicest people around. Even when they're not stoned
