Truth Please: What's The Deal With Smoking Weed In Amsterdam Cafes Now?
 

We Americans - okay, this American - get so many conflicting reports on the new laws in Amsterdam about the coffee shops and smoking marijuana. So anyone IN THE KNOW please post here and let me (and everyone else) attending the Amsterdam Show know if we can get our 420 freak on.

I'd like to know the answers to these questions:

Is it still legal to smoke in the coffee shops?
Do you have to be a Dutch citizen to enter?
Can Americans (or non-residents) enter the shops?
Can we buy weed and leave the shops with it to smoke somewhere else?
Is smoking outdoors legal or illegal in Amsterdam?
Do we need to go with a Dutch citizen in order to enter a shop and smoke?
Can you buy weed "on the streets"?

Please, help a brutha out....:)

I was there last year, it was not very good weed, it was ok, but I guess I got spoiled living in northern California. Barely smoke anymore

just dont smoke TOBACCO in a coffee shop (serious!) and you'll be fine :2 cents:

Yeah, you were on here bragging about the pounds you were deal...I mean smoking. :1orglaugh

im dutch but lost interest in smoking weed completely when i was out of puberty. I think foreigners are very childish when it comes to our weed laws. They act like kids in a candy store when they're in holland. Extremely immature but it's a difference in culture so it's understandable they act like that.

Yeah we have different laws now.... You need to enter in a Traditional Dutch suite the coffee shop complete with wooden shoes

You can order WEED, from a MENU.

How much more kid in a candy store does it get really?!

it is a difference between center of amsterdam and rest of the holland as far i know from my friends there. in center of amsterdam still no changes, but in the rest of holland you cannot buy anything if you are foreigner, you must have holland id card. also, it is not like you buy and smoke on the bar, you must go to special place where you can get high. but, i am talking about rest of the holland, in turistic center of amsterdam nothing changed, maybe just the prices :)

Awesome, thanks for the info everyone!! :)

I noticed that too when I was there for the cannabis cup years ago. I actually found myself not even caring after a day because once the novelty factor wore off and it fully sunk in that I didn't have to worry about "the MAN" coming to bust us, it was as though taking away the paranoia also reduced the urge to anesthetize against it. Cops in that sense are metaphorically speaking like the harsh parents that the "kids" finally got away from and went wild.

I am sure it gets annoying to the locals.

P.S. Iran should be ok too :)

Why did I think you were British?

Either because the original cartoon characters of Mister Peabody and Sherwin were British (I THINK, not sure there hehe) or because I exude a certain British kinkiness vis a vis the green coat/pervert/flasher Avatar?

(Yes, I used 'vis a vis' in a sentence....:D)

But that is French, isn't it?

Latin actually.
I THINK.
Man I sell porn on the Internet, what do I know? LOL :)

You made me Google it. As I took Latin for two years I could not believe I would fuck that up so badly . . . . turns out I had nothing to be worried about. ;) http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...yTbkmolVUX_mwA

Ahhh yes....but isn't French itself a derivation of Latin? Like Italian and Spanish?
(I cede the point, 'vis a vis' is French, but just sayin' in general - isn't French originally from Latin/Roman times?)

Indubitably.

Hence the term "romance language"

What's a Royale With Cheese called now?
