Grass Roots Response

Imagine, the new conservative Dutch government is on record for wanting to force the country’s marijuana (“coffee houses”) cafes to become members-only clubs. In effect, it would preclude foreigners–aka tourists–from sampling some weed. Cafe owners and the Union of Cannabis Retailers are not pleased.

Not to wax too nostalgic over Amsterdam’s cannabisness, but I can still remember–well, call it a cultural rush–stammering out a menu order for: “Two lattes, a space cake and a jumbo joint.”
