The Dutch Embassy Is Trolling the US Over Pot Laws
AMSTERDAM IS KNOWN worldwide for its permissive drug laws, which can be irritating to the Dutch, who know that their country consists of infinitely more than a pot culture. So when Washington, DC legalized marijuana and put out a pamphlet saying that DC was not going to “become like Amsterdam,” the Dutch Embassy decided to have a little bit of fun at Washington’s expense.
The “street car” bit is a little jab at the city’s stalled H Street Corridor street car which has been an absolute debacle implementing. Kudos to the Dutch Embassy for pushing back against dumb stereotypes about one of the world’s great cities.
