    Who in the hell is animating these graphs? They are so confusing, like the 3 part where he says "there is no legal supply system in place



  5. @samesryals6952 on August 3, 2024 at 12:06 pm

    So if somebody grows weed or wants to smoke weed it’s automatically got something to do with organized crime now that is some irrational thinking right there unbelievable

    vote for who which party’s support it



  10. @mennnok on August 3, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    They forgot to add or cut out that in The Netherlands you are allowed to grow 5 plants at home and can sell your excess stock to a coffee shop. They just don’t want the whole industrial scale of coffee shop tourism and growing.

    He will lose , he pleaded guilty , all the appeal judges can do is reduce or dismiss the fine , but the conviction will stand



  12. @dapvm1987 on August 3, 2024 at 12:16 pm

    you can’t sell but what about accepting donations



  13. @lmaopew on August 3, 2024 at 12:16 pm

    I bought a 360° touch Laptop, it wqs a good thing, cuz i needed this to Take notes in math, cuz i can’t just Keyboard shortcut a math function in OneNote, but i also needed a Laptop strong enough for my programming tasks



  14. @densidste9137 on August 3, 2024 at 12:18 pm

    9:07 all fun but you want to avoid always "watching" over them and doing whatever



  15. @edvindolaiulriksen5498 on August 3, 2024 at 12:19 pm

  16. @Daniel1962007 on August 3, 2024 at 12:20 pm

    Are these videos monetized?

    The classic right wing deflection,. No answer.



  20. @user-hb9fw7gu4m on August 3, 2024 at 12:25 pm

    Its not even legal to smoke weed in the netherlands 😂



  21. @samesryals6952 on August 3, 2024 at 12:26 pm

    It’s not about getting high otherwise alchohol wouldn’t be legal it’s about the masses not staying in the dark about the uses of hemp for industrial purposes tree take decades to grow hemp takes one seson fossil fules are very expensive and toxic to produce hemp can make lamp oil coking oil motor oil it makes the best rope paper and clothes but Dupont has to sell their synthetics and the oil and gas companies seem to not want to swap over although for the life of me i don’t understand why because the truth is we need all of the above and hemp would offset some of the demand it seems to me it’s a whole new industry just waiting to happen while everyone is focused on smoking bud



  22. @MonkeySeeMonkeyShit on August 3, 2024 at 12:27 pm

    we already where the drugs export of Europa .
    The dude is capping so hard its sad.
    Also RIP to our biggest farmer of freedom



  23. @HalfMoon89 on August 3, 2024 at 12:27 pm

    White man with a stupid ass purple tie is exactly the reason why things get all messed TF up IGNORANCE 💯 IN NETHERLANDS IS WILD 🤤🧟‍♂️



  24. @SushiMane01 on August 3, 2024 at 12:29 pm

    organized crime is not going to go away simply because you make something legal lmao its going to give them more motive. these guys have no experience with people willing to do what it takes to make their money.



  25. @duendex5 on August 3, 2024 at 12:31 pm

    Netherlands must be among the few countries where humble worker people speak almost perfect english but posh people in power cant, also thinking that far right rise in the NEtherlands or any other country has anything to do with terrorism is pretty simplistic and all the way wrong. Europe is not America.



  26. @user-bc7lu6qb5l on August 3, 2024 at 12:40 pm

    If it’s legal there then it ought to be legal every where



  27. @huiba1 on August 3, 2024 at 12:42 pm

    I am Dutch, often visit Amsterdam, and occasionally smoke a joint myself. But honestly, compared to US laws, our laws are actually even weirder. Weed is illegal here, believe it or not! But the point is that the (coffeeshop) sale is legal, the use is legal, but possession is actually illegal. Even if you only have a gram, the police will take it but the point is that it’s "gedoogd" which means tolerated. So, they will take it from you and it’s still illegal to have it on you, but if it’s less than 5 grams you won’t get in trouble, no fine, no jailtime and no charges.



  28. @Phar2Rekliss on August 3, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    Almost there the DEA will make it schedule 3.



  29. @moonsong12 on August 3, 2024 at 12:46 pm

    Legal weed is an overpriced, plus tax, poop weed pushing corporate Monopoly scam



  30. @sebastianwill2707 on August 3, 2024 at 12:46 pm

    Germany is the same right now, but u cant even give or trade weed



  31. @darosa5741 on August 3, 2024 at 12:47 pm

    That Dutch politician spoke for over 5 minutes without saying anything. What a bafoon



  32. @CookieMonster-qw5ru on August 3, 2024 at 12:48 pm

    2024 and it’s just as bad, if not worse in Netherlands. While our neighboring country Germany has legalized weed as well. Great country!



  33. @AdithiaSreenivasan on August 3, 2024 at 12:48 pm

    Are you the nuclear nadaal.?



  34. @bluelotus.society on August 3, 2024 at 12:49 pm

    Jai Sri Krsna🙏🏼✨



  35. @MazemindTom on August 3, 2024 at 12:51 pm

    31:30 Nobody in the Netherlands has EVER heard of this ‘rising star’ Foort van Oosten. Thanks for the heads-up, I guess? 🥹



  36. @NewLifeFromTheWayofTruth on August 3, 2024 at 12:52 pm

    Poor dude sold him the shake



  37. @homiedontplaythat on August 3, 2024 at 12:52 pm

    Its strange how Americans have gotten so scared of Marijuanna that they have to check to make sure thats it legal since humans have using marijuanna for over thousands of years.

    Politicians and the control over the person



  38. @Daniel1962007 on August 3, 2024 at 12:52 pm

    “There are 2 types of laws; Just and Unjust…One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just Laws, just as one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws” MLK🫡🙏🏼✌🏻



  39. @thenameisluckyboy on August 3, 2024 at 12:53 pm

    This is an old documentry, the Netherlands is currently doing a so called "cannabis experiment" wherin 10 cultivators are allowed to grow cannabis for 10 municipalities. The trail will take 4 years, if all goes well, we might see full legalisation. Vice please do an update documentry about this



  40. @tarickw on August 3, 2024 at 12:53 pm

    achterdeur beleid moet weg! it is idiotic that the front door is legal but we are supporting the back door illegal criminality required for it. Legalize growing now.



  41. @Daniel1962007 on August 3, 2024 at 12:53 pm

    There was a time when it was mandatory to grow it…



  42. @andie3448 on August 3, 2024 at 12:56 pm

    33:11 this guys is a lost cause… He simply doesnt understand what hes doing lmfao.

    Omnea Enua.



  45. @Karvan420 on August 3, 2024 at 12:58 pm

    31:39 Man when that politician switched to English, even though he can speak English fluently, just shows what a coward he is. Hiding behind a pre-written policy statement, not engaging in any real questions or dialog. Just spewing the same regurgitated garbage they always do. What a tool.



  46. @EuniceYu-w4l on August 3, 2024 at 12:59 pm

  47. @andersoncrelier on August 3, 2024 at 12:59 pm

    😮



  48. @jacksonangkang9211 on August 3, 2024 at 1:00 pm

    Visit Nepal u will find top weed



  49. @NOTvisibleForU on August 3, 2024 at 1:02 pm

    In 3 of the dutch cities they have now started experimenting with main suppliers. Planning to regulate the entire countries growing.

    This is a long process and far away from becomming a reality. But steps have been taken.



  50. @samesryals6952 on August 3, 2024 at 1:02 pm

    Nothing like hack bureaucrats to ruin your mood they are always so arrogant and full of themselves but i guess that’s how they end up hack bureaucrats
