Ban on Cannabis Amsterdam 'Drunken Measure'

AMSTERDAM - The introduction of a ban on cannabis smoking in Amsterdam to fight the problems caused by youths smoking weed is 'a drunken measure' according to a spokesman from the BCD (Cannabis Bond). "it is a measure with a high ethnic taste, meant to tackle mainly Maroccan youths hanging about"

The bond doubts whether police will be able to tackle problem youths that cause trouble on the streets. "For thirty years on the Amsterdam metro, we've had junkies that blow, smoke, inject, and piss. And we cant manage to control these problems."

A majority of the Amsterdam council voted on Thursday in accordance with the introduction of the ban. The council will be able to implement bans on certain streets, and areas. People who ignore the ban and smoke a joint on the street, or have weed in their pocket could get a fine of €45.
