Well, aside from the tobacco-stained walls that give them their name, there's an untranslatable word in Dutch – gezellig – meaning cosy, intimate, relaxed. Beloved of concertgoers and a stone's throw from the museums, you'll realize from the intellectual hubbub that this one is where Holland's literary crowd hangs out. Though you're unlikely to recognize them, it's predictably adorned with portraits of famed clientele ("most of them are dead, anyway," admits the barman). </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/amsterdam-coffeeshops-rated#post-171 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 02:16:01 +0000 Auxerre 171@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>My favorite coffeeshops over about 10 visits:</p> <p>1.

Well of course I'm also here to see new things and to make memorable experiences. Maybe some of you could help me while giving me tips what I shouldn't miss because I'm here for the first time? I'm a student so I can't spend a lot of money and that's why I would prefer some cheap insider tips =)<br /> On the internet I've found a website named discountamsterdam.net offering 20 % discount on several attractions. That's a really good advantage to me because some sights can be expensive.<br /> So I would be glad about getting some answers from you! </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/amsterdam-coffeeshops-rated#post-157 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 09:33:31 +0000 michealronald 157@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>Hi</p> <p>I bought some cannabis seeds from<br /> <a href="http://www.shayanashop.com/Cannabis_Seeds/Seed_Packs/pd-1505-1035-pm19/Cross_pack_4x5=20_seeds.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.shayanashop.com/Cannabis_Seeds/Seed_Packs/pd-1505-1035-pm19/Cross_pack_4x5=20_seeds.aspx</a></p> <p>any advice on growing the seeds can help me to do the work more efficiently.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/amsterdam-coffeeshops-rated#post-156 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 07:27:48 +0000 Stellina99 156@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Thanks for the information.

It is the perculiar Dutch thing 'Legal but not Legal' known as 'Gedoen' (I think the spelling may,or may not be correct). It is legal/decriminalised in the front door but not in the back. But even this is a misnomer, because you can still be arrested for even small amounts of 'soft drugs,' the Dutch just do not enforce the law, but they could if they wanted too.</p> <p>This is where the self 'righteous' rightwingers/religous crowd of America and elsewhere (including the Nederlands) get it totally wrong when portraying Holland as the Legal Drug capital of Europe. In fact their drug problem is far less than anywhere else in the world! You just have to deal in FACTS rather than misleading/dissinformation that is propergated by the 'holier than thou' crowd with America leading the imfamous anti-drug pack. </p> <p>You have to understand/know History to come to the realisation as to why the 'Drug Crusaders' so hate 'Hemp' in particular, since it would put a lot of the ruling classes (American in particular) billionares out of business overnight if Cannabis was ever legalised and became an industry in itself. The 'Industrialisation' of Cannabis would pose a severe threat to the 'Petro-Chemical, Timber Barons, Pharmacutical, and many other entities if it were ever made legal.</p> <p>Hence the insane ongoing 'Drug War' led by America on an exclusivley, unusually useful plant, for no apparent scientific/medical reason. Even their own (American)(numerous) commissioned scientific reports have exonerated Marijuana, making it far less dangerous than both tabacco and alchol...but these have either been hurriedly buried, or discounted with 'blinkered' hysteria being the order of the day!</p> <p>BTW Prostitution only became legal in Holland 8 years ago, under strict guidelines.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Drugs of any kind, except Tabacco and Alchol are all illegal in Holland. So go tell the idiotic media in America and elsewhere the TRUTH...if they can handle it!</p> <p>PS CANNABIS SHOULD BE RE-LEGALISED (once upon a time it was) all over the world. May the 'canker worms' eat the stinking flesh of those who in their financial self-interest have destroyed countless lives worldwide by this outrageous law enforcement against a harmless weed...a scientifically and medically proven one. </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/are-all-drugs-legal-in-amsterdam-or-just-marijuana-2#post-127 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:29:57 +0000 pauline896 127@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>I've heard about marijuana being legal in Amsterdam and you can get it everywhere but how about the other drugs?
