Really noticed how down I have been since the news, on
Saturday, that the right wing Dutch government has turned back the clock 40 years
by criminalising skunk, strong cannabis.
Amazing that after leading the way in decriminalising and
tolerating the personal use of cannabis they have now decided that if the THC is
stronger than 15 % it’s now illegal.
Couldn’t believe my ears when I heard, however this
news is not so surprising, considering the composition of this right wing government.
The Coalition Government is: the VVD: Peoples Party for
Freedom and Democracy, the Christian Democratic Alliance, PVV: Party for
Freedom.
They are also supported by the SGP:The Reformed
Political Party (Dutch: Staatkundig Gereformeerde Partij, SGP).
It is no wonder that the right wing government
knowing they are restricted in what they can do have decided to go for the
coffee shops.
They made an arbitrary decision that strong cannabis, called
skunk will now be reclassified as a class A drug, along with Ecstasy and Heroin,
suddenly it became illegal.
A strange decision as this country makes a lot of money
from cannabis, from tourists coming here to enjoy the coffee shops.
This decision is like the Netherlands scoring an own goal
in the World Cup, tourists will now go to other countries instead like Portugal,
guaranteed warm weather and cannabis.

This is sad to hear, that your country is now controlled by the right wing Conservatives. I haven't figured them out; are they interested in 'controlling the populace?,' are they interested in making money? (doesn't seem so, as you said,) Or maybe they are just old and stupidly set in their ways. It's a mystery to me.
I think it's time for you to ask Richie to take some pictures so we can see your new pants and w/c cushion. What do you think?
Are you going to have a Halloween Party?
