Swiss Coffeeshops

[sh@dy]

Bernum, I think you may be referring to Christiania.
Unfortunately, the situation in Copenhagen has been going downhill for sometime.

very interesting read.

Here in Germany we never had a situation like the ones you mention in swiss. Of course you wont be taken to prison just for 10gr., but it sucks hard, so many conservatives here in Germany

yeah that's where i was talking about....i really hope they get to keep their freetown in the end, i' went there when i went to Denmark and it reminded me of home where-ever that is.

I saw this about Canada, but these really aren't true coffeeshops as you have to bring your own.

Marijuana culture
The market is also home to one of Canada's few cannabis cafés and boutiques, as well as a couple of head shops. The Hot Box Cafe and Roach'o'Rama are businesses in Kensington Market where the consumption of cannabis takes place openly. For many, they are a spiritual and peaceful retreat in the core of the city.

Visitors to Bellevue Square Park between Augusta and Denison will sometimes see (or smell) marijuana cigarrettes being smoked.

there is also a cafe called the kindred cafe in Toronto Canada.. which is like a vapor lounge... they have all kinds of volcanoes and other vaporizers available, u pretty much just need to rent a room in the cafe and u can go smoke as much as u;d like and eat cannabrownies and chocolates and sip on ur coffee...

but again , you have to bring your own...
