Maybe things changed in the past year, but my experience is exactly as you describe. In my entire time in Amsterdam I was never approached by dealers, except when I was in the Red Light District. Even after almost a decade, entering the RLD is still a bit of a 'culture shock'.
(and even much of the RLD is dealer-free; it's specific streets)
- NamTaf 10y agoThis was also my experience when I visited a few months ago. I didn't once get approached on the streets, but I certainly noticed that the RLD was a different culture (including one guy approaching someone else as a 'friend' then trying to start a fight with him in order to probably mug him). I can imagine that pushers are through that area but I guess I look big and ugly enough that they didn't bother approaching me. Certainly outside the RLD throughout greater Nieuwmarkt was more hustle-bustle than the rest of the areas of Amsterdam that I saw, but I never felt like I was in a place I shouldn't be.
