The problem is that if a person wants to learn how to deal with it legally, they have no other possibility than to come to a place like Amsterdam.
Wouldn't the solution rather be for Amsterdam to create a "newbie coffee shops" or something similar?
1. Create safe newbie-friendly places that provide an opportunity to safely experience a legal drug X.
2. Mandate that for a foreigner to buy a legal drug X, they must have an ID-like document that says they are experienced with X.
3. Once a tourist experiences X in a newbie-friendly place, they award him/her with an ID-like document that enables the tourist to buy X on their own.
Surely that create more jobs and opportunities in Amsterdam than the "bug off!" rhetoric I've seen from the local Amsterdam government.
- mettamage 5y agoI've heard from friends that this exactly happens with DMT experiences. I'm not sure if DMT is legal here (they make it themselves, the ingredients are legal). Yet, they somehow advertize it publicly (?). He did it in the south of The Netherlands.
