One Dam Good Spliff

9:45 AM -- If you're considering a trip to Amsterdam this summer, beware the tobacco-sniffing dogs. The Guardian reports on the latest nanny-fascist absurdity:

  • Dutch coffee shops, long considered as synonymous with the Netherlands as tulips or attacking football, face a new challenge from today when a ban on smoking tobacco in restaurants and cafes comes into effect.

    The owners claim the law, which will allow customers to light up potent tobacco-free pure cannabis joints but ban milder spliffs in which tobacco is mixed with cannabis, threatens to put hundreds of them out of business...

    "It's absurd. In other countries they look to see whether you have marijuana in your cigarette, here they'll look to see if you've got cigarette in your marijuana."
