In the Netherlands, "coffee shops" are more or less allowed to sell weed, but they are absolutely not allowed to buy it. Weirdness is everywhere in the Dutch weed regulations.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoBuy it at all? Do they have to grow their own?
- Scarblac 7y agoNo, that's also illegal and prosecuted. It has to appear magically behind their counter in quite small amounts, or else.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoDoes this extend to most prohibited items, or just weed? "I don't know how it got here, but I have a rocket launcher I found just lying around."
- Scarblac 7y agoNo, it's only weed that has this "tolerated" status, where personal use and sales to individuals by coffee shops are not prosecuted (but everything else still is).
- afiori 7y agoAs far as I know in the Netherlands drug use in never prosecuted (maybe possession and buying), I remember they made a point that if you are in need of medical assistance due to drugs use you cannot be arrested just for that.
