There really isn’t much to be said about the Netherlands that hasn’t already been said. And of course, when you’re talking cannabis in the Netherlands, you’re talking Amsterdam. Pretty recently, it seemed as though the Dutch government had taken something of a painful step in the wrong direction, having decided to make it deliberately more difficult for tourists to get hold of cannabis. Menu cards disappeared from coffee shops, displays disappeared from behind counters and proprietors were instructed to only sell their merchandise to a specific clientele – i.e. locals. However, not only did it prove to be a restriction that was impossible to enforce, but it also proved to be a restriction that absolutely nobody was interested in trying to enforce. So while things may not be quite as ‘in your face’ as they used to be, Holland is still an absolutely incredible mecca for cannabis crowds.
