UK: Welcome To Amsterbrixton, With A Cannabis Cafe On Every Corner

Brixton will become a draw for drug tourists if plans to open three
Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes in the area win approval.

Tim Summers, a Brixton resident and legalisation campaigner, wants cafes to
be licensed for the sale and consumption of cannabis as they are in Holland.

He envisages three cafes, one run by Rastafarians, another catering for the
hippie community, and a central take-away outlet, open long hours "to serve
Brixton and London's massive needs". Cannabis would be sold only in
quantities of less than 30 grams, to over-18s.

The scheme would require Home Office approval and further changes to the law.

"Prohibition is rotten. It is hated and despised," says Mr Summers. "We
will soon see the days of cannabis prohibition ended forever."
