firefighter Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 A friend translated this from medijuana magazine for you:http://de.medijuana.eu/?p=1136I can only agree. SUPPORT LOCAL GROWERS, KEEP THE MAFIA OUT!!! Don't buy their shitThe magistrate of Eindhoven wants to decriminalize local smaller growers who sell their products to the coffeeshops. Ivo Opstelten, mayor of Eindhoven wrote a letter to the Dutch secretary of justice outlining that the problem today are the criminal organizations bullying the the coffeshop owners to buy their mass products and intimidating others. "Fraud, money laundering, and bullying done by criminal organizations who are press-ganging the coffeshops to buy their products" says Rob van Gijzel, mayor of Eindhoven. "This is unaccepatble and raises also quality and health issues!"So the magistrate of Eindhoven supports a "regulated growing" by local private growers who are then allowed to sell their proven quality products to the coffeeshops. Thus the influence of organized crime will be diminished. The project will run for three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Won't growers be victimized in turn?I guess so, on a local level.The Dutch are very keen about registering everything and making it legit or not. So I see it as a first attempt for officially grown weed for the coffeeshops.Well that would be awesome but i can tell u the flipside of the coin is that much shops got closed in dam .... even one of my favs Hill Street Blues is gone its now a Bozzer shop i talked to Travisvan from voyagers he said 12 Shops in the last 4 weeks sadI have not been to Adam for quite a long time and I do not know if this is against the shops in general or against some other criminal organized activities.

firefighter Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Leuk! Finally someone in the Dutch gvmt stepping it up!It is done because of fear about criminal gangs I guess. Look what happened in Switzerland some years ago: biker gangs took over the growing, brought in human trafficking, people disappeared, villagers were intimidated, people got tortured and killed even and the government decided to completely ban the growing. I think it is better to take those animals out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
