What I wrote is a fact. Holland has a big problem with “drug tourists” from the surrounding countries which is why cities close to the borders want to (or already did) further regulate the selling of cannabis. Weren’t small border villages swamped by thousands by German/French/Belgian youths each day, the “legalization” would be an enormous success.
Prostitution is another matter. I have no problem with it here in Germany :).
What I have read, and granted, it is likely to be coming from Christian Conservative sources within Holland (where my family is from), it is national legislation which is being offered, and a national push to rid themselves of their liberal thinking. Their social system is all but collapsed under the weight, and their welfare system cannot keep up. It is not local cities (I had no idea).
