Stupid Laws: No Smoking, Unless It's Marijuana
When the Dutch ban on smoking in public places went into force last year it had a curious side effect, said Frederik Hartig in Germany's Der Spiegel. In the 700 or so coffee shops in the Netherlands that are legally entitled to sell marijuana, you're still allowed to light up a joint, but only if there is no tobacco in it.

This must be a good idea. Smoking in a public places is not that good. I hate smoking.

Indeed..a very stupid law! This why politicians should think through any idea of change, or low. Especially in such a debated matter, like legal marijuana.
LOL. Second hand highs are okay, I suppose.
Yes, this is pretty absurd. It reminds me of something I read in the paper some months back.
There has been some controversy about supervised heroin injecting rooms here in Sydney. One of the stories mentioned that smoking was not allowed in the rooms!
(Tried Googling for it, but couldn't find the article. However, I'm pretty sure my recollection is correct.)
That's rediculous. Surely either both should be banned or neither. I have always found the Dutch to have some pretty strange laws.
Wow… this is really one on the stupidest laws I have ever heard of…
What a joke! No tobacco but marijuana is allowed? Woah! rubbish law, don't they cover it from each angle so this law can exist for a long time? Any updates on this law now?
