But that's not what's being proposed. We're talking about a person who
chooses to go to another country and break *our* laws, doing something

What's the next step? Police waiting in the arrivals lounge of all
incoming flights from Amsterdam, ready to arrest travellers for the
drugs they legally took while there?
