It seemed like the only shot we had was casting Jackie Chan as Harold and Steve Zahn in brownface as Kumar which, looking back, would have been an interesting way to go. Check out the last page from our original White Castle script. There are gonna be suave, sophisticated guys all over her. By the time she gets back, she may not be available.
Harold turns around. Kumar has a big smile on his face. Slowly, but surely, Harold starts to smile as well. From the look in their eyes, it appears they are going to do this.
Ironically, it was this promise of future movies that probably gave Senator International and New Line Cinema the incentive to finance and distribute White Castle. We liked the idea of making a comedy about the War on Terror.
So what kind of laws are these? Amsterdam drug laws evolved the same way as laws in other countries during the past century, but the solutions taken in the Netherlands, differ from the rest of the world.
If you would like to get more information you can visit the Hash and Marihuana Museum in Amsterdam. Dutch drug policy is directed by an idea that every human being may decide about the matters of its own health. The Dutch consider this rule as fundamental, accepting for example the possibility of the controlled suicide euthanasia , for terminally ill patients.
Another idea which guides Dutch laws in their drug policy is a conviction that hiding social negative phenomena does not make them to disappear - on the contrary makes them worse, because when concealed, they become far more difficult to influence and control. Applying these ideas to their drug laws the Dutch try as much as possible to decriminalize the use of drugs , making it a private matter of each individual, and not a matter for the enforcement apparatus.
Production, trading and stocking drugs remain a criminal offence, as in any other country. The Dutch see the use of drugs as a health matter , similar to the use of tobacco and alcohol, and in fact not very distant from problems of obesity, alcoholism and tobacco smoking. They also point to the fact that prohibition of alcohol in the US in the years brought more negative effects of increased criminality, than the positive social changes and had to be withdrawn. The Dutch have divided drugs into two groups, depending on their influence on human health — soft drugs and hard drugs.
Hard drugs as cocaine, LSD, morphine, heroin are forbidden in the Netherlands as in any other country. Soft drugs as cannabis in all its forms weed, hashish, hash oil and hallucinogenic mushrooms so called magic mushrooms or paddos — from Dutch: paddestoel - mushroom are legal under condition of so called " personal use ".
