EU Says Marijuana Less Dangerous Than Tobacco
ON July 1, the Netherlands will bring in a ban smoking in bars and restaurants. The EU has ruled it so.
The Health Ministry says the ban will apply to coffee shops that sell marijuana. The tobacco is outlawed but the weed is tolerated.
“It’s the world upside down: In other countries they look for the marijuana in the cigarette. Here they look for the cigarette in the marijuana,” says Jason den Enting, manager of coffee shop Dampkring.
Thanks to the EU, stoners will take in more marijuana smoke with each hit.
Is this a sign that the EU considers weed less dangerous than tobacco? And if so, why is cannabis illegal here?

” ON July 1, the Netherlands will bring in a ban smoking in bars and restaurants. The EU has ruled it so. ”
This is incorrect: the upcoming smoking ban is a matter of Dutch law, and has nothing to do with the European Union.

It just goes to show that it’s hard to find something more dangerous than tobacco. Tobacco is still the number one cause of preventable death in the developed world.

On second thoughts, he probably knows. It would explain a lot…
