Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. – Ghandi Any form of advocacy is bound to seem futile at times.

The saliva tests the Dutch government plans to introduce to allow the police to check motorists for drugs are unreliable and have a wide margin of error, the AD reports on Tuesday. Although the manufacturers promise 95% reliability, research by the French Académie Nationale de Pharmacie show that in 16% of cases, users wrongly test positive, the paper says. And in 19% of tests, drug use is not identified at all.The justice ministry defends its plans, saying the test is ‘sufficiently trustworthy’ and pointing out that a blood test will be needed to prove drugs use.

All the indications are that the campaign to legalise cannabis is reaching a worldwide crescendo. Barely a week goes past without headlines calling for a new approach to drugs policy.

Nol van Schaik founder of the famous Willie Wortels coffeshops explains why the weed in Dutch cannabis cafes has got so expensive.
