Holland to ban sale of 'skunk' marijuana in coffee shops

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/netherlands/9690851/Holland-to-ban-sale-of-skunk-marijuana-in-coffee-shops.html

Quote:
Ivo Opstelten, Holland’s justice minister, has informed the Dutch parliament to set out a major rethink of the country’s liberal policy on soft drugs which allows cannabis to sold and smoked in specially licenced cafés or “coffee shops”.
He cited a government study that found that marijuana containing more than 15 per cent of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the psychoactive drug naturally occurring in cannabis, is so dangerous it should be classed alongside heroin and cocaine.
”Hard drugs have no place in the coffee shops and in the future they will only be able to offer cannabis with a THC level of below 15 per cent,” he told MPs.

Actually it seems very sensible since Skunk might be responsible for the majority of mental health problems associated with the drug.

Going to be a bit tricky to police. Are they going to have plain clothes police 'sampling' the available goods at random intervals?

Doesn't need police. Simply get the health inspectors to take small samples at random for testing. It will not be worth it for genuine cafe owners to get a more serious drug deal offence so they will stick to what is legal.

Nope. Never tried the stuff in my life and I'm certainly not going to start now when we have random drugs tests at work.

Same here, though I do not have to worry about the drug tests. Most people go through a drugs phase and go clean by the time they reach their thirties. A few continue beyond that, but unless you operate dangerous machinery it is safer than most legal drugs including paracetamol.

That's because drugs are harder to get hold of when you're in your thirties!
