A friend at uni was telling me some cafés there are thinking about installing MASSIVE ventilation systems that would circulate enough fresh air to get around the ban. I think the law is based on the amount of air change rates per hour.

Either way I'm sure sales of brownies will mysteriously increase ten fold

I'm a liberal and this is one of the few times I don't quite know which side to take.

If they want to get around the ban, all they have to do is quit screwing it up like this.

"Dutch and other European marijuana users traditionally smoke pot in fat, cone-shaped joints mixed with tobacco."
