Stef, most foreigners can't resist the Dutch temptations! 'We' export the stuff to other countries - the average use here is lower than abroad.
If you wish to drink coffee in Holland, then go to a cafe-bar-restaurant.
If you wish to smoke cannabis or hash, then go to a 'Coffee Shop'. They also serve you coffee, but that not what you be expected to do in a 'coffee shop'.
If you wish to grow your own cannabis, you can buy the aquired seeds, and instruments like lamps, hydration systems and fertilizers in a 'Grow Shop'.
Up to 30 grams of cannabis/hashish or 5 plants (I think) in your possession is considered for private use, so you will get no problems with the police.
These so called 'soft drugs' pose a real problem to our society, both financial and mentally. For 30 years politicians have considered it harmless. Now very slowly these ideas are changing, and people are going to see that these drugs aren't as innocent as they seem to be.
And jfko6 is invited too! Of course. But only for drinking beer, not for smoking
(We must however realise that eating 20+ year old rations can do much more harm to the body and mind, than smoking drugs! A more plausible action is that people first smoke some drugs BEFORE eating old rations!)
