A nation in decline....
WTH?
I thought if these industries were legalized it would automatically drive organized crime out of them.
Yes, you will.
Why these idiots cultivate this reputation is the mystery...
Interesting. Even legalized prostitution invites illegal behavior. That’s why it’s illegal in the city of Los Vegas but legal in remote rural county in Nevada. Easier to watchdog for crime that way.

JULES
— okay now, tell me about the hash
bars?
VINCENT
What so you want to know?
JULES
Well, hash is legal there, right?
VINCENT
Yeah, it’s legal, but is ain’t a
hundred percent legal. I mean you
can’t walk into a restaurant, roll
a joint, and start puffin’ away.
You’re only supposed to smoke in
your home or certain designated
places.
JULES
Those are hash bars?
VINCENT
Yeah, it breaks down like this:
it’s legal to buy it, it’s legal to
own it and, if you’re the
proprietor of a hash bar, it’s
legal to sell it. It’s legal to
carry it, which doesn’t really
matter ‘cause — get a load of this
— if the cops stop you, it’s
illegal for this to search you.
Searching you is a right that the
cops in Amsterdam don’t have.
JULES
That did it, man — I’m f-——’
goin’, that’s all there is to it.
VINCENT
You’ll dig it the most. But you
know what the funniest thing about
Europe is?
JULES
What?
VINCENT
It’s the little differences. A
lotta the same s-— we got here,
they got there, but there they’re a
little different.
JULES
Examples?
VINCENT
Well, in Amsterdam, you can buy
beer in a movie theatre. And I
don’t mean in a paper cup either.
They give you a glass of beer, like
in a bar. In Paris, you can buy
beer at MacDonald’s. Also, you
know what they call a Quarter
Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
JULES
They don’t call it a Quarter
Pounder with Cheese?
VINCENT
No, they got the metric system
there, they wouldn’t know what the
f-— a Quarter Pounder is.
JULES
What’d they call it?
VINCENT
Royale with Cheese.
This will just make the “coffee” shops that stay (ummmmm, “cofffffeeeee”) that much more crowded. And busier prostitutes with less time on their, ah, hands.
Wham! Bam! Ol’ Amsterdam!
A distinction without a difference.
Jeeza. Is nothing sacred anymore???
There goes the vacation plans.
WHAT? I thought if all this stuff was legalized it would re-create the Garden of Eden. I guess I'll have to re-think my switch to the Libertarian Party. Of course, maybe they just didn't make ENOUGH vices legal, like bestiality and public defecation.
More evidence that the liberaltarian belief that drugs and prostitution should be legal wouldn’t harm society. Allowing either diminishes the quality of life for everyone.
Lots of luck. The center of historic Amsterdam has been stuffed full of drugs, prostitutes, porn shops, and other criminal activities for at least 60 years. I don’t know what it was like before World War II, but it’s been a pervert’s dream at least since the 50s.
Too bad. It was a beautiful city.

Europe continues down the path of statism.
is the Hotdog/Steak sign for a restaurant or is it a kind of sex that cannot be described?
