NETHERLANDS
Amsterdam is internationally known as the place where people go when they want to get high, no strings attached. Its reputation for prostitution and soft drugs made it very popular and it’s responsible for the huge number of tourists coming here annually.
However, it’s pretty unusual when it comes to the laws and rules of consuming, especially as a tourists. Because Netherlands has become the country of weed instead of the country of tulips, the authorities are doing the best they can to stop the tourists (really, to diminish the number of them) who only come here to get high.

While every coffee shop (you should, by now, understand this is not a place where you solely drink coffee) can have an approximate amount of 500 grams for sale, the law says that growing cannabis is illegal, which sort of makes it appear like the weed comes from heaven, not from a dealer. Anyway, 500 grams outside a coffee shop is huge and you won’t get away with it, but 5 grams in public and approximately 30 in a private property should be ok if you do keep a low profile and state, if asked, that it’s for private use only. These small amounts are not quite legal, but they’re tolerated and decriminalized, so there should be no problem as long as you don’t start randomly sharing them on the street.
