Dealing pot

[joycenalex]

dealing from work? maybe an anonymous message to the higher ups at the job, not the manager, but the HR dept. no business wants to be a negative story in the local paper or the lead story on the 6pm news.

Catty1! Well, I havent been keeping up to date on the subject, as I'm not really interested, but hash/pot is illegal in Denmark and I believe they have recently tightened the law - after all, we have a right wing Government.

I can't find the actual law on drugs.

Years ago, the police let people go if they had a little bit for smoking themselves, but with the new law, people are fined for whatever little bit they have. Sad really, because these young kids may drift to places where hard drugs are, or start drinking alcohol instead - which is a lot more damaging.

There's a place in Copenhagen called Christiania. Below are some links.

Thanks, Randi!

Some of the same things are discussed in Canada - that criminalizing drugs, hard or soft, pushes them into hiding, and then it's REALLY tough to control.

Years ago, my sister visited the Nederlands, several times, and said it was 'legal'. But when I worked on Holland America lines, an older fellow acknowledged some has bars etc, but I think spoke for many when he said it was a bad thing, and caused a lot of trouble. (He said it a bit more strongly than that, but I don't recall his actual words!)

Thanks for correcting a stereotyped perception on my part.
