Yes, decriminalised, which does give the police some options if someone is taking the proverbial.


Agreed. Uruguay is often talked about, however it's available via restricted channels to citizens with their ID card - this puts some people off buying it officially, and they (according to a close friend who moved there from Poland) just buy it from the people sat outside the dispensary with carrier bags full of cheaper and better stuff.

In the UK it's chaotic, everything depends on the policy of the individual police force - for example, in some places, growing fewer than 10 plants is tolerated, elsewhere even possession can lead to an arrest.

In Poland, the current state of prohibition just provides an opportunity for organised criminals, and of course it happens anyway, as it always does.

So farming, logistics and retail.


Their market position.


Easy for Vietnamese farmers to produce so closer to the market, as they do in the UK

It seems a better system in Czech than in Poland.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Logistics and distribution.

As for retail, most people there don't buy from Vietnamese people - in fact it's convenient, cheap and civilised.

As it should be in Poland.

There you go again. Thousands may read this thread in coming years - and benefit from information, not moralising about your views on drugs.

In Poland, it's now possible to get most things online anyway.

Pesky remoaners.

The OP wasn't asking about opinion polls on legislation.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Really? Where?


It's working well there. No incentive for criminals to get involved.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]

And keep organised crime out of the loop - something almost impossible to do in PL where Prohibition exists.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Those that did:


moralised far more than even your average Daily Mail reading fishwife.

With substance use, whether alcohol, weed, ching, whatever, taking a judgemental approach has only ever worsened the situation.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Why moralise?


Activities?

If a poster wants to buy, he'll buy. Most important is that he doesn't get ripped off or busted.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Or more pertinently, why so few are being robbed nowadays.


Fortunately in Europe we have a more developed social environment, a more joined-up response to social needs.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Actually, it has worked rather well.


No, it isn't.

There are plenty of drugs in Warsaw and it should be possible to talk about this neutrally and without moralising. There are many issues around drug policy, and a whole range of opinions about this. The OP didn't ask whether or not a given substance should be illegal - that is a seperate question. He asked where he can find a given substance.

Having said that, if he needs to come on here and ask, he probably isn't the right sort of person to score some without making a mess of it.


No it isn't.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Yes, it's potentially very risky. There are certainly undercover police in nightclubs in some places and although Poland is quite laissez-faire in some ways, he could be very unlucky.

@gregy741
Don't try to relativise the Holocaust. It was a unique evil.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


You were extolling the use of marijuana a while ago.


Or simply acknowledge that some people will use them, that criminalisation hasn't worked, and that if someone wants to buy something, better they don't fall into harm's way in the process.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


A weird thing to say.

And once again, you're trying to trivialise the gravity of the Holocaust, the greatest crime against humanity.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


There you go again.,,


And again


And yet again.

There's little dignity in your attempt at rhetoric, especially given the gravity of the topic.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


Not here, unless you've read a completely different set of posts.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


Is anyone 'blaming' Poland for the Holocaust? No. Only in your mind.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


Not the politicians or ideologues behind it.


A silly statement.


An even sillier one, even for you.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


You might read and understand the article and its context, before commenting stupidly on the German Army's victims.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


We also don't know how safe those Jewish people you claim were in the Wermacht were, or what they could or couldn't do.

Even the article you cite, doesn't back up your theories - it refers to Germans who were suspected of having some partial Jewish heritage, a group who were to say the least vulnerable in those times.

Your article also says "większość z nich nie wiedziała o Holokauście ani o rzeczywistości obozów koncentracyjnych czy obozów śmierc, or "The majority of them didn't know about the Holocaust or about either concentration camps or death camps".

In short, you're writing relativistic nonsense.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


Don't be daft. Unless you think the Wermacht caused the Holocaust...


Very few 'resistance armies' in Germany. Something to do with the murderous regime...

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Certainly more than you will ever have. Some of us don't feel the need to preach.


There you go again, assuming that objectivity is 'encouragement'.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]


Drugs have no morals, either positive or negative. People use them anyway - if they do that, better they buy safely and avoid judicial persecution.

Ultimately that's a decision for him. I would never want to change anyone's mind either way.

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]

Indeed. And if the OP is likely to buy something, better he gets sensible pointers than falls in with the wrong people.

Foreign nightclubs are always trouble.


I wouldn't want to see him in a Polish prison cell, so yes.

If he's really desperate, he can come via Czech where possession is decriminalised and it's easy to buy.

History / 75th anniversay of Dr Janusz Korczak's death - a true Polish hero [26]


Yes. One of the truly great figures of those years. His first book was published in the 1890s - he had a long career and was much loved by his fellow Poles.


That's heartbreaking to read. He did his duty to the end.

We should also remember that before the occupation he was Poland's most popular radio broadcaster.
