It looks like March sometime before the new pass system will be implemented and probably a couple more months before enforcement begins. You may know my girl and I put on Cannabis Freedom day in Amsterdam over the last few years. Very few locals showed up. Now the coffeeshop owners are slowly comin...

Times are changing, I get that, and this might not even happen in Amsterdam for a long time, I get that too. But it's not all about the dam is it? The entire country used to be a place for pragmatism, tolerance, liberty and forward thinking... What the fuck has happened? not just the nederlands m8,...

Hunters is not the only coffeeshop that does this, it may stagger you to know that many do this now, especially in the tourist saturated centre. The fact is that even a lot of locals don't demand EXACTLY a gram. The going rate is 'price per gram'. I'd rather buy a nice full bud at 1.5g than have to ...

I go third week of jan and I must admit I am very skeptical about whether I'll be able to visit coffeeshops or not. I don't want to be buying off the streets so I will almost certainly cancel if thereis any threat of this coming in before then. I will definately not be booking for 420 either. I'm no...

Unsurprisingly, it seems the EU has sided with the Dutch government on the legality of banning foreigners from coffeeshops. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12006356 Sad day for 'liberal, forward thinking' Holland The coalition will be fucking creaming over this so expect it to be fast tracked...

Only one experience of Hunters when I met a few friends from home there when I was living in 'dam - I got there before my friends, and only had 30 euros on me, my purchase, including drinks was 33.40 :oops: I miscalculated what I had bought. The guy let me off the 3.40 without a problem after I offe...

Sounds like a good plan but my moneys on it all falling apart once that first smoke is lit. If you're going to buy some beers get something better than Amstel, I like the odd one myself (especially on draught) but AH always carries some real nice belgium beers. Oh for sure, I'll probably end up goi...

First day plans...
I've mentioned on here before that I generally don't smoke at home, so when I get to Amsterdam its usually been up to 6 months without so much as a whiff of what weed even smells like. I used to dive right in on my first full day, get totally fucked beyond my limits and slow down a bit after that :o...

The way i read it is as a questionaire handed out to MPs in the lower chamber. The guardian and bbc do this all the time with our MPs on what there thoughts are on issues. The problem comes on whether they will vote as a block (british pariliament, very little movement around the majority party) or...
