it's all good man...no worriesAmsterdam's casual acceptance of pot-smoking and pot-smokers makes some dissidents crazy enough to make you wonder what they are smoking. In recent years, the Netherlands has bowed to pressure from surrounding countries regarding its drug policy and has tightened the rules for "coffeeshops" -- establishments in which hashish and marijuana are sold. You used to be allowed to buy and retain 30 grams (1 oz.) of soft drugs for personal use; now, you can buy only 5 grams (1/5 oz.) at a time, though you're still allowed to possess 30 grams. Coffeeshops aren't allowed to sell hard drugs, to advertise, or to sell to minors. If they create a public nuisance, the local burgemeester (mayor) can shut them down. Yet despite these new, stricter rules, Amsterdam remains a mecca for marijuana smokers and seems likely to remain that way.
