Thats some weird sh!t about taking pictures.
The thing I respect alot more about Amsterdam (other than weed being legal) is the drug treatment programs they have for addicts. For heroin addicts in particular, they have a Heroin Maintenance Program, where they give the person heroin laced cigarettes which decrease in dosage, so they can wean off it easier. Then once they beat the addiction, there's programs available for job/trade skills, so they can lead productive lives again. We dont have that sh!t here in the states. They just lock people up and/or give them methadone or something else to get additcted to, and no help at all for job/trade skills. I've known tooo many people that have died or been sent to prison. The "war on drugs" here is nothing but a fraud.
