Trip to the Amsterdam Coffee Shops, Red Light District, and more ...

By: Panama Red

It was going to be my 50th birthday and we wanted to party in Amsterdam. We bought 4 Delta Airline tickets to Amsterdam on 14 days notice. The off season price was only $442 each. My old friend Keith who is Founder and Director of an Organization in Washington, D.C., had briefed me on his trip to the Cannabis Cup. He recommended we check out the nearby city of Haarlem. Haarlem is only a 10 minute train ride from Amsterdam. Based on this experienced tip, I contacted Nol, the "Dutch Connection," to help with the recommendation of a hotel. Nol is a real gentleman and he suggested an inexpensive 5 star hotel in Haarlem. The hotel was only a few blocks from Nol's Willie Wortel Coffee Shop and the Global Hemp Museum.

$10.00 Train Ride to Mazatlan, Mexico

By: Travelin'

It was going to be Easter vacation from High School and my buddy Rocky and I wanted to take a cheap vacation. I contacted a travel agent to purchase a train ticket to Mazatlan. Days later I had my quote of $9.75 for a one way ticket. I couldn't believe that over 1,000 miles on a Mexican train would cost less than $10.00 so I ordered our tickets. We drove to Calexico in Rocky's new VW bug which we parked in the U.S. and took a cab across the Mexican border to the Mexicali train station.

Drugs and the Stupidity of Government

By: Daryllisauris

Just finished enjoying the article submitted by the ex-military medic. I also recently watched the movie "We Were Soldiers," which portrayed what appeared to be the initial injection of US military soldiers into the jungles of Viet Nam. This "injection" of recently graduated high school kids into an "unwinable" military action truly moved me, as did the article from the ex-military medic.

America's War on Drugs Simply Feeds the Corruption
