Drugs are bad m'kay

I don't care if I just updated this, this story needs to be told ASAP. We just got back from a "Drug and Alcohol Awareness" lecture. We were almost gonna "forget" about it like the meeting this morning, but we went because they get mad if we don't go to these events. And boy am I glad I went.

I was expecting the typical DARE speech that they always give us. However it was quite the opposite. There were two police officers. One from Venlo (The closest major city) and one from Amsterdam. They started off by explaining the drug laws in the Netherlands. Much to contrary belief drugs are not legal but they are "tolerated." Basically there is a loophole in the law that lets people smoke pot if they want as long as its under 5 grams. They then proceeded to pass around pot so we know what is real and what is not.
find someone threw up all over the bathroom floor. Oh well I live in a castle.
