So it is 5 plants good, 10 plants bad. Quite a silly game of cat and mouse.

Really? If you live in Holland, have olfactory capabilities and do not know what pot smells like then you’re comatose!

Pot legalization lost in a landslide in CALIFORNIA!

Pro-legalization is at least a generation away.

The Mexican Mafia rejoices at the news.

They’re reaping the benefits of their “tolerant” drug policy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11647189

Can’t put the genie back in the bottle,’cause they lost the bottle years ago.

"...Even the Dutch are becoming less tolerant of the potheads..."

I went to Amsterdam a few years ago, and the stoners had absolutely trashed the place. Litter everywhere, and drunk 20 yr-olds urinating in the alleys, along with strung out addicts sprawled in the same alleys. It made me hate youth, especially 18 to 24 year olds from America and England. They are the core of the problem.
