Any Dutch People, Amsterdamers On Today..?
Life been good to me lately :)

Debt free; current project over & done in 2-3 weeks from now;
got some extra mon€y.


So I'm planning on taking the lovely Stonette to Amsterdam for a
4-5 day visit.

What I'd like to know is:

Can a foreigner still just step right in and burn one down in the
coffeeshops?

And:

What are the absolute must-sees for a stoopid tourist?


Seen my fair share of Europe - but I have never visited Holland...
Would so much want to know what it feels like, to roll one up and
light it without having to be officially concerned about the Pol-ice :)
Also interested in art museums, national museums...and reggae/dub
music!
stoner

Asking humbly, with respect to you Netherlanders - clearly, you are
one of the most advanced and human-friendly nations in Europe!

Got to hit the town right now on some errands, but I'll check back
later to see if you guys are kind enough to answer my questions.
Would be most grateful!


Peace to you & yours hi

bonghit

Hi.

Of course you can! There are a lot of coffee shops in Amsterdam, and if you're 18 or older, you can smoke as lot as you wish! Even on the streets in Amsterdam you can smoke. It's forbidden, however, police won't do anything.


In amsterdam is the redlight district, a must see for every tourist! Also the museum of torture is really nice, a lot of clubs at rembrandtsplein and leidseplein, and of course,

mushrooms (although forbidden you can get it in highlife shops)

and so on!

Cheers!

So what happened to the new regulation? I honestly thought foreigners could no longer buy stuff. Or is it only in the southern cities near Belgium that foreigners are no longer welcome?

You're right. Only in the southern provinces they are closing coffee shops because a lot of foreigners come to holland for their weed.

TPTB want to introduce a weed-pass, but until that time you just can walk in any coffeeshop and get some juicy green hahaha. Don't worry. For all the other foreigners, just drive a little bit further, LOL.

No worries!

Don't smoke too openly outside in the Red Light Dristrict though. Police sometimes picks on tourists, just for the fun of it.
stand for something or fall for anything

Hi, i'm from amsterdam,
if you wanna go out here, a nice club to go to is Paradiso or the melkweg.
If you like more of a alternative enviroment, you can go to Ruigoord or the NDSM werf.
Have fun!!!!

Also, take a trip on a canalboat, hire a citybike.

A nice shoppingstreet, near the central station is; spaarndammerstraat (also coffeeshops there)

The nieuwmarkt is a nice square, with a lot of cosy bars, you can acces that via the central station via the; zeedijk, there you can eat really good asian food.
