>As a Dutch resident, I have never understood why so many (mostly American) tourists visit The Netherlands just to use drugs in Amsterdam. because for a long time if you used them in america you'd be hit with a misdemeanor and ruin your life, or risk death. any interaction with the police in USA risks death. I can't tell you why harder things, but we're told in film and media it's a place you can buy cannabis and use it without hassle. It wasn't until I did a walking tour that I learned it's more decriminalized than legal, and I sympathize... they should do it like in Colorado and actually test the THC percent etc not just say "here's a space cake a gram of cannabis went into".
