My Kushy New Job (2010)
- bitxbitxbitcoin 3y agoNeeds a 2010. Amsterdam is definitely no longer the world's cannabis capitol.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoWhat is then?
- shortrounddev2 3y agoColorado, California
- brailsafe 3y agoCanada obvs
- thx 3y agoKashmir :3
- BossingAround 3y agoCould be Canada, could be California. So many legal places nowadays (and yet very few in Europe :/)
- yodsanklai 3y agoDo these places have actual coffee shops like Amsterdam or only dispensaries? I was surprised how Thailand embraced it. Almost overnight, the touristy places exploded with dispensaries. Yet, there's not the pothead vibe one can see in Amsterdam's coffee shops. And yes, it's intriguing how Europe is so conservative with this. You wonder what they're scared of.
- resolutebat 3y agoThailand repealed the old laws without putting any new ones in place, hence the no-holds-barred overnight explosion. It's a matter of time until they clamp down, although given the perennial machinations of Thai politics, which are even worse than usual right now due to the military junta vs election winner squabble, how long it takes and how strict the new laws will be remain a mystery.
- Ylpertnodi 3y ago>You wonder what they're scared of. Getting billions in ganja tax...but at the expense of pissing off the Church? Though Germany seems about to stop giving their money to the dutch, with a potential decriminalisation bill, God's representatives on earth still aren't ok with people just getting on with their own business.
- gostsamo 3y agoGermany is going to legalize it, so expect for the practice to spread.
- BossingAround 3y agoWe have yet to see. I'll believe it when I see it.
- ls612 3y agoMinnesota is rapidly rising in pot culture because of the fact that legalization here was at first an accident last year, so every brewery could make THC seltzers and every bar and restaurant with a liquor license could serve them with no regulations basically. When they purposefully legalized it this year the accident driven free market had gotten so big and popular that they grandfathered it all in, and even added a clause allowing liquor stores to sell the hemp products.
- LilBytes 3y agoThailand should be high up there these days. Pun not intended.
- blamazon 3y agoNot a world capital of the stuff exactly but, due to slow-rolled legalization, New York City is having a gray market boom right now - there's some sort of tacit 'they can't catch all of us at once' strategy going on, there's a bazillion illegal (yet formalized) cannabis vendors springing up all over the place into every available empty storefront. You can also find them at farmer's markets, concerts, outside movie theaters, etc. Most of the gray market is just surplus California pot (it is the cheapest, after all) but if you go to one of the very few legal dispensaries in the city you can buy New York (State) grown cannabis which is pretty neat.
- j0hnyl 3y agoNYC. You can buy it on almost every corner and smoke it anywhere.
- bitxbitxbitcoin 3y agoBy volume grown? By number of legal licenses? Where the new hot strains are bred? Where the bags for the new hot strains are made? different answer to every question.
- jtwaleson 3y agoDutch nitpick: "Dampkring" isn't "Smoke Ring", it means "atmosphere". If you translate the two words separate it literally is moisture ring rather than smoke ring.
- EdSchouten 3y agoVapor ring would be a better translation, right? Because “vocht” is moisture.

- magic_hamster 3y agoThis depressing account just made me wish the author could enjoy Amsterdam instead of work in that miserable coffee shop. Try a museum, visit a castle, take a boat ride, have some world class omelette. Like most other places, visiting Amsterdam is what you make it to be.

- ivolimmen 3y agoI sometimes work in Amsterdam. It's near my house. I hate tourists in Amsterdam. They clearly come to my capital for the wrong things. Plus they only visit the capitol; there are so many nice cities in the Netherlands to visit, some are even more beautiful than Amsterdam. To cater to the tourists the city also changed for the worst.
- bosie 3y agoWhich cities would you recommend then?
- jbaiter 3y agoUtrecht is beautiful
- angulardragon03 3y agoYou really can go anywhere. Rotterdam, The Hague, Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Gouda, Utrecht, Zaandam, maybe even Alphen aan den Rijn. I’d even consider Groningen on this list (although Groningen is a 2 hour journey). These are all places within approximately an hour or less by train of Amsterdam’s central station, that have fantastic culture (lots of art, history, and other museums), and are (mostly) classic old Dutch cities. Don’t get me wrong, Amsterdam has some nice museums that I also go to occasionally too, but if you want to go and see Dutch things that are just as nice without the crowds, you can go almost anywhere else.

- comprev 3y agoHaving spent possibly the best 5yrs of my life in Amsterdam, I can only feel sorry for the authors extremely limited exposure to the city. It’s amazing place full of art, history, culture, music - and if you know where to find it - great food. Dampkring is fairly low on my coffeeshop list
- qntty 3y agoToday I learned that the word ganja comes from Hindi but is unrelated to the Ganga.
