ARTISTIC FREEDOM

A leap into the unknown Netherlands

Ever wanted to visit a magical kingdom? where legalized marijuana has been prevalent forever! Since my college days in the City University , where I first encountered the Netherlands on a Xmas 10-day visit; I have never had memories since, that were filled with the thrills of being near so many professional artists in social scenes. When I visited Amsterdam, I was enthralled by the quaint housing and dreamy attitude you just assume walking the 3 major canals in the old part of the city, the Jordan. Most people who are residents, ride peddle bicycles or use mopeds. I noticed an extremely large elderly population wearing full-length black coats and driving electric bikes throughout the inner city. Probably, because marijuana has always been legal in the Netherlands, people have been more liberated and creative. Currently, the Netherlands has the widest and most lucrative nurseries growing plant and seeds for world- wide distribution. Hopefully, they plan to conduct tours and educational seminars for countries like the USA. We definitely could stand to gain some know-how from their expertise. I wonder if Colorado owners are considering forming an alliance with these farmers.
