thanks alot for reply!the ohana one sounds fine,was wondering about shipping cost?im sure we can come to some sort of agreement thanks

It was very good to meet you a few times although the loner seats in the Dampkring was probably not the best choice.

Congrats and all the best in your venture.

Tutti- it is so great to hear how awesome your life is and how much you're enjoying expat life. (I moved to Switzerland from the U.S. two years ago and it has been great for my mr and I as well.)

I think it's awesome that you opened a Ukulele shop! I'm sure you've heard Eddie Vedder's Ukulele Songs by now http://youtu.be/c7D17IpTTz8, but on the off chance you have not, I can unreservedly recommending the album- it's really cool.

I am going to be in the dam on a short trip Sept 3-5, and I would love to meet up for a toke and talk.

Best,

Amy (Geeky Monkey)

Amy,
I just saw this (Winnie told me as we have been busy moving and working) Looks like I will be around for year 2.. =) so it will be cool to meet up and hear about expat life in Switzerland!

Just keep in touch on the forum, soon things will settle a bit and I will pay more attention to the boards..

peace,
tutti

It's same in UK, you can be charged with posession if it's found in your blood. A law that never get's used though, my guess is most countries the same.

I hadn't heard that, although I'd believe it as they're pretty rigid about enforcement of any and all laws. However, occasional recreational marijuana use (and outdoor cultivation) are pretty common here. (Not nearly as common as rampant cocaine usage among the bankers, but that's a whole discussion for another time.)

It's expensive though (like$500/almost 400 Euro for a 24 gram ounce), and much of the street dealing is done through immigrants, who are extremely hassled by police. Also, they recently passed a federal law that makes deportation an automatic penalty for dealing (although it's not in enforcement yet and may never be from what I hear.)

However, possession for personal consumption is basically tolerated, as is cultivation of a plant or two for personal consumption, although those things are not defined and therefor at a judge's discretion to determine, which is always risky if you are a foreigner, as there is general dislike of and discrimination against ausslanders. Pot used to be legal in a lot of cantons, but they made it illegal by federal referendum, and it was the fact that switzerland did not want to be/become a location for drug tourism, leading to more foreigners here, rather than a real distaste for pot that led to them making it illegal.)

(The caveat being that this is how it is in my swiss-german canton, this varies a lot from area to area as very few laws and policies are made at the federal level here.)

Probably too much information, but that's just how I roll.

Tutti, I'll be in touch to set up a meet-up when it's closer. (Although 7 weeks is starting to seem close- yay!)

Looking forward to meeting you!

Soz for the jack too jus up to recently (well years anyway) as you say it was more or less legal , that's where Howard Marks set himself up an alp and started selling it to the Italian Government possibly where a lot of seed companies done their breeding too ?

Exactly cisco, the legal change happened in 2002ish. There are a lot of really good growers around too- top quality here is absolutely on par with top quality in Amsterdam, but supply is trickier, especially if you are foreign.

tutti and ohm i just want to wish you both all the very best for the future.

you're living the dream ENJOY !!

will pop by and see you next time i am there.......

Thanks you very much Chillers2.. look forward to seeing you again..
