If you thought US law was an ass, just be glad you don't live in Holland!

A new Dutch law has banned the smoking of tobacco inside cafes and restaurants but it continues to be perfectly legal to smoke cannabis. The result? Smokers in the renowned coffee shops of Amsterdam, where people flock from all over the world to buy and smoke cannabis legally, are now having to roll their joints and fill their pipes with pure marijuana.

Those who cannot take the effects of smoking their leaf of choice in its purest form are having to go out onto the streets, where smoking tobacco is legal, so they can 'dilute' their joints. However, smoking marijuana out on the streets is illegal.

And how is this policed?

Apparently, the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority has trained 200 inspectors to detect the difference between a "mixed or a pure joint."

The world is going to pot.
