Well every country got it's own things that they're famous for.

Well, let's hear it...

Ireland is mostly famous for it's red-headed people, well, when I was in Ireland about 5 years back, I ddin't see much red-haired people.
Of course also for the Irish Whisky.
Unfortunately the national sports with the big wooden spoon, hurling, isn't famous in the rest of the world, it's funny to watch.
When I was in Ireland I first saw an amateur-competition where one guy got the spoon full on his helmet. While he was staggering across the field anonther opponent run past him and put his shoulder under the chin of the swaggering guy. Well, he went down...

Well, it's a problem, we have coffeeshops which are legal and may have about 500 grams in the shop. But delivering cannabis to them is a crime. Lately about ten cities tried to start up their own plantations of cannabis, putting the criminals out of the game. Now we'll have to wait if it works. The cannabis delivered by the criminals is way stronger, officially declared a hard-drug now. So I hope the production by regulation works. It also will be good to keep the taxes as low as possible, and the dutch taxes are the highest in Europe already.
In most pubs and public areas smoking isn't allowed, also smoking cannabis. I think within 50 years nobody smokes and the cigarettes-industries is gone forever. I hope so, for smoking is very dangerous.
