Motherland of Marijuana

When you plan a vacation around the idea of marijuana where is the first place you think about? If Amsterdam didn't pop in your mind before my sentence was finished you might be too high to think. As a  22 year old pot loving girl with a chunk of change to plan a vacation where do you think I chose to go? Thats right the motherland of marijuana. The capitol of cannabis. The home of hash. You might ask me is it all its cracked up to be over there? I would simply put yes. There are coffee shops on every corner. Quality weed to chose from in everyone. I walked into our hostel and was greeted by our house owner and then showed a variety of pipes, papers, bongs, and vaporizers to use at our disposal. I was in heaven. Amsterdam was the friendliest, most clean, beautiful place I have ever been to. Do you know why that is? Because of marijuana. Sure there are so many other great things the city has to offer, such as the Anne Frank house, Van Gogh museum, and the ever famous red light district, but marijuana truly fuels this city. What amazed me was that the use of marijuana had really made a positive impact on the people's lives who lived there. Their crime rate is almost undetectable, their streets are kept cleaner than many American cities Ive been too, and people are more than willing to help you with almost anything. I felt more comfortable walking down any street alone then I do in Milwaukee. This city sets an example of what every city should strive to be like and with the reform of marijuana laws I think many could achieve such a goal.
