Asking someone to buy cannabis for you at a coffeeshop

[Panog]

I don't get the point of this thread : if someone asks you to buy for him and you're okay do it, if you're not okay don't do it...
I don't know why it would be such a big problem... Coffee shops can't have problem (they don't know what you will do with their weed and they're not responsible) and apart of doing it in front of a cop you won't have any trouble either...
For people who seem shocked about the idea of buying for someone underage (comments like "buying for someone underage is really grave..."), didn't you smoke when you were 16 years old ?

i wanted to just say bingo in response to this post.then i thought about it. while a liquor store would definitely not have to worry about such a scenario impacting them it seems obvious that the anti coffeeshop crowd is determined not to let fairness or right and wrong get in the way of their mission. they would seize on such a situation as a" legitimate" reason to attack a particular coffeeshop or coffeeshops in general.they have been adept at fabricating nonsensical reasons to shut off the tourists and kill the coffeeshops. they would just add this to the list. if the ridiculous rationale that has been adduced so far is readily accepted as a reason to stop the coffeeshops i have no doubt that this will be deemed as an argument in their favor. it strikes me as very odd as a few years back while getting liquored up in one of the bar areas i had to find a place to use the restroom(pea bladder syndrome ) i finally just dragged my friend into the nearest bar for a drink and bathroom break. we walked in and were confronted by a huge group of what looked like little munchkins(they looked like 14 year olds). the bartender told me it was a party for a 16 year olds birthday. considering alcohol leads to a myriad of social ills ,methinks, it may be a tad hypocritical to blast the coffeeshop scene while not batting an eye at 16 year olds on a bender(not saying that they were all puking or completely bombed but it could lead some down that path) are these people so stupid as to not see there is no rhyme or reason as to why they favor one particular intoxicant to another? especially since alcohol is potentially the much more dangerous and destructive of the 2. hard to argue logic with that particular crowd. the rationale and tolerant image of the dutch is not supported by the anti coffeeshop crowd

Open your eyes when you're on warmoestraat mate, there are underaged everywhere... The anti CS scene can't attack the CS about this, as long as a CS doesn't let a minor into the shop, they can't get any troubles

frist time i went i was 17 but i didnt need anyone to buy for me,i did get refused 2 or 3 times which suck and i had a great laugh overall but when i went back when i was 18 there was alot more doors open and its shit having to worrie about these things.id say wait m8 coz you wont be getting the full amsterdam experence,even now my next trip in march is what im calling my frist real trip to amsterdam,the frist 2 or 3 when i think back i didnt really know what i was at its only in the last 3 years ive started on the path of the cannabis connoisseur you could say haha..

Hey guys,
Thanks so much for all of your replies. They've been really helpful. I've talked it over with my buds and we've decided to wait another year til we're 18. Just out of curiosity, how common is it for underage kids to smoke bud? Do they buy it on the street or at the shops?

I first went when i was 17 myself, with two 18 year olds. They could buy bud, but obviously i couldnt, however there was a few coffeeshops in which i just went and sat down straight away and they bought the bud. But, as KerryToker says, its not a real amsterdam experience as you're constantly looking over your back in the CS, wondering if they realised they haven't ID'd you

Drug use is not nearly as high as in the US or UK. Most of the Dutch, young and old, buy their weed from a dealer not necessarily on the street. So no need to bother with the expensive coffeeshops.

Peace

First time I went to Amsterdam many moons ago I was over 18 the person I was with was 17 while in the Greenhouse the budtender asked if we were of age we told the truth , "ok I will sell you it , but you can't stay"
