It's legal over there so just wondering" Actually its NOT legal in Holland, it's decriminalized. That means it's tolerated socially, you won't get busted for it, but it is still technically illegal. And there are standards that are applied to the advertisement of smoking that are very strictly enforced. You cannot advertise the availability of marijuana or any other drug outside the extablishment, that is why they are referred to as coffee bars. Also why there are many subtle refernces to smoking in the names and artwork of said bars. One place, Popeyes, has an article on the back of their weed menu explaining that they chose the name Popeye because of the characters ever-present pipe. All non-chemically synthesized drugs are decriminalized in Holland, including Peyote, Marijuana, Hash, Hash oil and Magic Mushrooms. Everything else you are taking a chance. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jvcvudu 0 #63 March 8, 2007 I can see the focus was lost here and there. The only way to claim that a DZ is "drug free" is to do mandatory pre-employment drug screening and then do randoms for the staff. Now, in my travels, I have yet to see that. What happens is the DZO just takes the word of the staff member as gold. Hell, anybody can and will say whatever it takes to get paid to skydive.
