i wonder if this is the beginning of the end for the famous dutch tolerance? they are already attacking the coffee shops full out and have reduced the number greatly. they have also closed many grow stores. now they have found their next additional victims. think about it, that system allowed those women to be independent, with no pimps and extortionist "protectors". they pay a high rent and tax, but by putting them in this semi illegal situation, they are just allowing opportunities for gangsters to come in and take things over again. it returns those women to a dependent state again. by having the law against them they are no longer afforded it's protection. this just shows the inhumanity of the so called "christian right".
it seems the same with the coffee shops, they want to close them and bring back the days of having to buy your weed on a street corner from some shady dealer, this opens that whole Pandora's box of possible problems.
it seems crazy to me that holland who has the least underage pot smokers in europe would want to change anything. their system works so well, why would they consider changing it. i bet you a huge chunk of money comes in each day as a direct or indirect result of the situation with regard to the coffee shops as well as the red light district.
i mean how many social programs will they have to close because they no longer have the coffee shops to tax to high heaven without providing a millimeter of service or even legitimacy in return.
let us hope the cooler and wiser heads will prevail in the end eh?
