More people have tried or partake in marijuana smoking than is
commonly realised.

I have worked in many environments where people have been drinking
and by the end of the night the atmosphere isn't the best to be
around. On the other hand, I have also worked in places where there
has been no alcohol served but the smoking of marijuana has been
tolerated and the atmosphere at the end of those nights is cheerful
and uncomplicated.

Sydney needs more places like Cafe Amsterdam for people to enjoy
having a smoke in the open rather than living in fear that they may be
busted at any time. The sale of marijuana in the cafe should be
curtailed, but people should be allowed to smoke and enjoy the
ambience of the cafe.
