Can the Dutch teach us a thing or two about drugs? Amsterdam distinguishes between hard drugs which include heroin and cocaine and soft drugs such as marijuana and mushrooms. people over18 can buy and smoke marijuana in coffee shops , which are easily recognised by their green leaf symbols and reggae iconography. The Netherlands has extensive demand reduction programmes, reaching about 90 per cent of the country's 25,000 to 28,000 hard drug users. Limited marijuana consumption is legal in Holland and is served at hundreds of coffee shopss in the country , listed on the menu along with beverages and snacks.
Drug related paraphemalia is widely available , and non-halluncinogenic hemp products have become popular also , especially manifested at the hemp Hotel , where everything is made from hemp. Check on the website below to see a video clip about marijuana being legal in Holland.

I think because of the serious physical and psychological effects associated with its use , despite the fact that it is widely available , and even accepted in some families and communities , marijuana remains a legally restricted harmful drug in the United Kingdom. People have choice over their own lives , so those who choose to use it , is there own choice , but personally myself I have never used it and I will also never will.
while using drugs , a person is also less able to do well in school , sports and other activities. It's often harder to think clearly and make good decision. People can do dangerous things that could hurt themselves or other people when they use drugs. Click on the website below and see what the affects can be of marijuana use.
