Amsterdam's new street signs banning cannabis smoking in parts of the city have sparked global interest.
The sign shows a red circle around a fat cannabis joint in a cloud of smoke sparked by white marijuana leaves. It has been installed at one square and surrounding streets in Amsterdam where young cannabis smokers are a nuisance (www.baarsjes.amsterdam.nl).
Soon after the installation on February 1, the first signs were stolen after which the Amsterdam council of De Baarsjes decided it would start selling what it believes is the world's first anti-cannabis road sign.
Over 400 consumers have approached the council to buy one of the "no joints" signs for 90 euros ($108), excluding shipping, a spokesman said.
"About 75 percent of the requests come from the United States," he said, adding interest is also coming from Singapore, Australia, Scandinavian countries and Germany.
The profits will be donated to a charitable cause that has yet to be chosen.
It is legal to own and use small quantities of soft drugs in the Netherlands whose relaxed position on the issue has brought it into conflict with other European countries like France which claims the Dutch undermine the global fight against drugs.
No, they didn't.
Bizarre!
he told that OTHER guy; not you!
blow verbotten!
Actually they are looking at extending decriminalization to the growing of marijuana.
I'm not projecting anything. Your unwarranted sarcasm speaks for yourself, Skippy.
Thanks for your input, but we already have one too many people here who is talking to me and making zero sense.
'Tokin' verboten?'
That's not going to be allowed under Sharia. While the politicians are expending their energy on how to decriminalize pot, but still control all the problems associated with it, the Muslims are expending their energy on having babies.
That sounds so nice. Almost like a "soft drink."
VK, Cleanup on aisle 9.
ROFL! I know he was talking to someone else, but his sassy attitude just begged for a sarcastic response. Apparently, he didn't get it either. LOL :)
This is a forum. That means people discuss topics with each other. There are no rules that you must be posted to before you respond. Presidio9 asked a question and the polite thing to do is answer it.
That's also how to get to know people. I figured you'd want to know that, being new and all.
I've made some wonderful friends on FR just that way. Friends I hang out with when I'm home and with whom I have the best times. You might try it - it can be a lot of fun.
Actually, it's worse than that. Skippy posted a picture to me, and then got bent out of shape when I asked him to explain. He has been doing similiar things on other threads, like the typical newbie bull in a china shop that he is.
You know we've had a bit of a troll infestation the past few days. I wonder if this is yet another one?
We've got the kitties working full time these days.
And I saw what Skippy posted to you. I thought he seemed a bit trollish. You handled him well. ;-)
Skippy posted a vanity to Front Page News on day one of his membership. Then he did it again two days later. The mods are too busy busting people for not being good libertarians on this so-called conservative website to notice something like that.
