London, September 25 (ANI): The bizarre Dutch policy of allowing smokers to puff away on pure cannabis but not tobacco has apparently perplexed police in the Netherlands, who have fined a man for mixing the two substances.

Zero tolerance to tobacco smoking in Dutch cafes and restaurants is being exercised since a ban came into force last July.

A spokesman for the Amsterdam Police has accepted that it is very difficult to understand the rule that allows cannabis smoking while fining tobacco users.

“For logic it is sometimes impossible to explain, even to the Dutch,” the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

“The man was not fined for smoking a cannabis joint but for smoking. You can smoke cannabis but not tobacco in coffee shops,” he added.

The unnamed 27-year-old man was caught lighting a hand rolled cannabis joint during a routine police check, and fined because officers found tobacco mixed with the soft drug.

He is expected to contest the case in court. (ANI)

Bizarre Dutch law allows cannabis smoking but fines tobacco users!

Oh good grief!

This logic is, unfortunately, followed across the board...

Paying for sex is a crime, but doing it for free (or dinner and a movie) is A-OK...

Saying certain words on TV will get you bleeped, but show all of the murders and acts of violence you'd like...

Yelling "Jesus Christ" and "God damn it" while arguing against religion...

It's like saying "I'd like to see the forest, but all of those damn trees are in the way!"...

Aren't these the same people who had a reality show to see who would get a donated kidney? I know it was later revealed to be a hoax and done to "make a statement", but who does that? You don't get much wackier than the Dutch, .

I beg to differ...

I expect America's fate to be similar in this respect any day now.

Hey Redd--not to be insulting, but are you absolutely certain that these images are legit? Because I have some major issues with the shadows. They are seriously flawed with respect to the banners. Obvious fakes. I'm certainly not the "best" artist on the planet, but I know a thing or two about shadows, not to mention perspective (and I mean that NOT in the mental way, but in the visual sense!) And that first pic--look at the hands. There is NO WAY they are actually holding that sign--lolol. Those pics are propoganda. You're too smart to fall for that crapolla.

If I knew when I originally got them, I could do a little reasearch, but I couldn't come close to telling you where...

And there's plenty of stuff out there just like this...
