Dutch drug law changes

~ Jason Schwartz

From Marginal Revolution:

  1. As of July 1, the Netherlands will ban smoking in public places.
  2. The smoking of cannabis and hashish, however, will be allowed, at least in licensed cafes.
  3. The regulation will be that adding tobacco to the smoke (a popular practice) will be forbidden and that only “pure pot” will be allowed.
