here's something I found on Erowid while looking for the U.K. mushroom laws.........it's the Netherlands law for Cannabis..............

Netherlands #
Although cannabis is technically illegal to possess and sell in the Netherlands, the government does not prosecute individuals (over 18) who smoke cannabis. Possession of less than 5 grams or growing of less than 5 plants will not be prosecuted. Certain cafes/coffee shops are allowed to sell cannabis and hold 100 grams behind the counter and another 500 grams in the back. Paradoxically, we have received unconfirmed reports that coffee shops are not allowed to legally purchase cannabis. In March of 2003, the Dutch government changed the law to allow doctors to prescribe cannabis for medical purposes through pharmacies. BBC Sep 2003.

On Jan 1, 2008, Dutch police will officially be disallowed from smoking cannabis while off duty. Dutch police complain it is their right to smoke cannabis while off-duty, Dec 15 2007, DailyMail.

here's the link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1811

Strange laws..........I don't think anyone knows where they stand on it, but when you're there, it doesn't seem to matter at all, and if memory serves me well, I'm pretty sure it's Illegal for cops to stop and search you for no reason.

Peace out................Sid
