Did you know this sign really exists in Holland?

Maybe you all think eveybody smokes weed

in The Netherlands and you can smoke a joint everywhere you want, but this is not really true. Since februari (EDIT: not a few years) several neighbourhoods are placing these signs:

Smoking a joint in this area will cost you € 50,-. The signs are now sold all over the world. Maybe you've seen one somewhere..I didn't in my town...

Today a Dutch drugs institute (Trimbos) announced that Dutch kids don't blow as much as people thought. Only 1 on every 5 kids (14-18 years) smoke Marihuana. Man, our kids are Healthy!

They launced a new campagne today: "Je bent niet gek als je niet blowt’ ("you're not crazy if you don't blow") How's that....

Speaking of stereotypes... WINDMILLS, TULIPS, WOODEN SHOES, DIKES!!!
So there!

UPDATE: From a Dutch newspaper today:
Almost half of the inhabitants are happy with the blow prohibition in the Amsterdam neighbourhood "De Baarsjes". There is less trouble from kids now because they can't smoke weed anymore outside. 29% of the entrepreneurs see a descent in trouble. 75% think it's a good initiative.
The signs were put up in februari of this year, not a few years ago as I said earlier.
