Hallo from amsterdam ;) There is an issue in the article.
"There is absolutely no good reason for marijuana to be legalized" I think there's no good reason for it to be illegalized.

Did you know that in holland there are a lot of problems here where the coffeeshop has to be resupplied many times per day but they're only allowed to keep a certain amount for it to be legal? They resupply a lot more often than what is legal to store. So they use safehouses for that which they keep hidden and store bigger amounts than the law allows. Sometimes these safehouses get discovered by the police and raided. Then the owner has to go through an entire juridical procedure. This is a major problem for the coffeeshop holders. The justice system has had enough of this problem and has decided to not sentence any coffeeshop holder that gets it's safehouse raided. They're currently blaming the government for faulty law. That's so funny to me. Judges ignoring the law.
