Weed tourism

[Steveg85321]

I wouldn't care if my pilot smoked. So long as he wasn't under the influence in-flight.

Maybe so, but the FAA is real sticky about it. I have a friend who is a pilot, and he cannot go near it.

I think alcohol is worse than weed in terms of how it affects decision making. Not saying I wouldnt care if my pilot were high on weed but I worry more about whether the pilot had too much to drink before a flight...

It's like going to some Scandinavian country only they still speak English, man.

I agree totally. My favorite city in the world - beautiful/historic/safe downtown neighborhoods around the canals; friendly people who all speak English; good food and beer; good music clubs; excellent museums; easy public transportation. Oh yeah, and amazing weed for sale in dozens of shops.

I had taken a hiatus from smoking for several decades (while raising kids) before visiting Amsterdam a few years back. Today's marijuana sure is better than what I was smoking in the late 1960s!

Agree whole heartily, rented a house 40 mins south of Amsterdam a few years ago for a month, it is probably my favorite city in the world, the people are so friendly, non judgmental, great food/drink.

Had to image that on google. Wow, you're killing me here!

BTW Cannabis Cup should be this month!

Thanks Guy, for that image. I love it. Those were the days, eh?

I'm also in agreement with the above assessments of Amsterdam, the museums, the people, the clubs, IMO the best beer in the world. I would also add the prettiest women in Europe (and I am not talking about the sleazy neighborhood of professionals). Nothing brightens a day like a pretty girl riding a bicycle, and they're all over the place.

I have to add, though, that in all the above categories, Denver is not too shabby either, in addition to being a very clean, forward-thinking, multi-cultural, and outdoorsy city. Worth a visit for many reasons.

We stayed in a hotel right in the red light district several years ago. Three single guys in their early 20s in Amsterdam = good times.

I did lol quite a bit at a guy that tried to sell us weed on the street there.

I don't know how much it costs now but I spent 5 days in Amsterdam a few years ago. Round-trip ticket and a stay at one of the nicer hostels cost me under $700.

Doubtful.

I got offers for cocaine several times a day outside my hostel in the RLD. I'm not sure if coke is legal there. Some of the drug dealers told me I look North African

What test can tell the difference?

Tests similar to the one they use to make sure a pilot hasn't been drinking. will do just nicely thank you.

When they're not flying they can drink, smoke or snort anything they want. They do that anyway don't they ? Making drugs illegal does not stop anyone who wants to get them from getting them and not only causes more problems but creates them as well.

What matters most to me is where recreational drugs are used. In your house the type of drugs you use should be as free a choice as what type of alcohol you allow into your blood stream.

They should not be allowed in the cockpit, while you're driving, in the operating room, at the barber or while teaching a math class math etc, etc,etc. just like with alcohol. But that's only common sense.

I believe it's the Dems that want marijuana legalization.

I'm sure more Dems than Reps want that.

And all Libertarians, of course.

I think they currently leave you in a room with a box of unopened Goldfish. Trained behavioral scientists then observe the perp through one way mirrors determining whether one is stoned by the time it takes to get into the box divided by the number of Goldfish that end up on the floor.

I have a close relative in Denver who has a red card (prescription for medical marijuana) and I go out there at least once a year for that Rocky Mountain High. You should see some of the dispensaries, which run from looking like a medical supply office to high end boutique to good old fashioned Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers style head shop. My favorite destination, though, is a heavy show at Red Rocks, well provided with some tasty, high-grade bud and maybe some potent cookies. Last summer we saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse and I had about as much fun as it is possible to have.

You my fine friend are the reason it's still illegal to smoke a joint. What did Mencken call Puritanism: the haunting fear that somewhere, someone is having a good time!!
