Leftwing Greens Launch Pro-Cannabis Website
THE HAGUE, 08/03/07 - Leftwing Green (GroenLinks) politicians have started a website to promote cannabis. They want the drugs to be accessible to everybody. "Because smoking cannabis is pleasant".
Wietkaart.nl (cannabis map) is an initiative by GroenLinks politicians David Rietveld and Koen Martens. The site has a search tool that locates all of the Netherlands' 'coffee shops', as the tolerated Dutch cannabis bars are named.
The website is the antithesis of Wietvrij.nl (cannabis-free), which was set up by the Christian democrats (CDA). "The CDA website states that cannabis use may be linked to psychological complaints. There is insufficient scientific evidence to support this, however," as Rietveld stated yesterday.
Rietveld and Martens feel that the cultivation and use of cannabis should be legalised. The site states, "Smoking cannabis should simply be allowed. Always and everywhere. Because it is pleasant and in many respects better than alcohol, for example. Better for people's health and better for society".
As the site warns, "Some places do not offer the possibility of using cannabis. It is up to you to join us in charting these problem areas. Then we can urge councils to make sure coffee shops are within everybody's reach for once and for all".
