Hey City, I have just realized my goal. My goal in life is to get my degree in mechanical engineering- then get a few jobs in here in the States in various fields. I then want to learn Dutch and move to Amsterdamn and continue my career there and in the vicinity. It is what I need- I mean my three loves are coffee, wine, and pot- what better place to be than there to experience them? I need to be able to smoke freely, it's not a crime- bottom line. We have more problems in our country because people are treated as criminals. I hope I can make it happen- A nice home, a green house in the back. A comfortable living.
it's technically not legal there though- although it is my second option, so I could end up there somewhere
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weed isn't legal in Amsterdam either, right? I've always heard it was just HIGHLY tolerated, somewhat similar to burning CDs in the US.
No it's legal, but it is also highly regulated. People can't be smoking on the street, only in designated areas, and you can get in trouble for being publicly high, just like public drunkeness in the states. Basically they feel that if your going to a resteraunt that permits it, or are in your house, do what the fuck you want, but don't endanger other people. It's kinda like what the constitution of the US says should happen, except the US doesn't base laws off that anymore I guess...
every sense i read, "pot legal in amsterdam". i said fuck this, i know were im going. would love to live there, hope to at some point in life.
