Marijuana, not only for medicinal use

For several years I’ve lived in the Netherlands, and for the people that still don’t know: marijuana is illegal there. But only de iure. Because of the so called “gedoogbeleid” (policy of toleration), the posession and growth of small quantities of the stuff is not prosecuted.

In praxis the drugs are only sold in coffeeshops. This also is subject to the gedoogbeleid, meaning it’s illegal but tolerated. Any self respecting Dutch city has at least one coffeeshop, not just Amsterdam.

How to work out from home

Hawks don’t walk

The Dead Flag Blues

The car’s on fire and there’s no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we’re on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
