Dutch political party GroenLinks: Legalize use of hard drugs

In an interview with the local Amsterdam TV station AT5, the political party GroenLinks stated that the use of hard drugs should be made legal in Amsterdam.

Currently the Dutch Opium laws do not forbid the use of hard drugs, though the city of Amsterdam does explicitly forbid it in its police regulation.

City counsel member Marco de Goede of GroenLinks: “People that use [hard drugs] and don’t cause any trouble should not be seen as criminals. If someone uses an XTC pill at home, it doesn’t harm anyone.”

According to the counsel member the current police regulation leads to dangerous situations, where people take large quantities of hard drugs at home prior to a party, instead of spread out throughout the evening and night. GroenLinks feels there should be a ‘fun doctor’ in the near future. If you want to take XTC just for fun, you can see this doctor and get clear information about pros and cons.

haha "there should be a ‘fun doctor’ in the near future. If you want to take XTC just for fun, you can see this doctor and get clear information about pros and cons." i am totally for that! :D but opium sure is different to XTC which in my opinion isn`t even a hard drug ;)

I think there are less risks in taking MDMA/XTC then taking those herbal xtc things like space-e. it sounds sensible to legalize mdma, IF the junky-scene of amsterdam wouldn't grow because of that. Legalizing ALL "hard" drugs like cocain, Heroin, crystal meth, etc. that are REALLY hazardous to your body and mind would be the biggest mistake that netherlands government could do. I did never try anything "harder" than cannabis and I'll keep it that way, I dont want to suffer from psychoses caused by lsd or something else. peace.

Imho that would be a great step into a better drug situation all in all - doctors who inform about the pros and cons + clean and affordable Drugs only in special stores, additionally accourate education in schools and media would create possibilities for safe and responsible handling of all drugs for everyone.
