[FRIAM] thanks for nothing biden

[Steve Smith]

As I was leaving NL, Amsterdam was  planning to significantly reduce the 
number of "coffee shop" licensed locations because they were felt to be 
an enforcement problem... being a magnet to illegal drug trade in the 
vicinity.   It does seem like the best place to try to score something 
harder would be where the soft stuff is sold.   I don't know if 
streetwalkers hang out close to adult video shops but it seems like an 
obvious strategy?   I have become so innured to the odor of pot in the 
air that I hardly noticed the few areas in Amsterdam proper where there 
were skunky wafts... or maybe the higher humidity helps to mask or 
dilute such odors?

I'm not a fan of aerosolized *anything* in the commons, whether it is a 
pickem-up-truk "rolling coal" or a man or woman who thinks an extra 
layer of strong perfume makes them more attractive or less-offensive or 
someone who mistakes the strong scent of antiseptic in a space to be the 
same as having a well-maintained or clean space.   I'm not specifically 
offended by much of any of them (except maybe heavy exhaust) but it is 
always annoying that the folks offering them up seem to be insensitive 
to the idea of a shared commons (same with loud music/exhaust/partying 
activity).
