Are they just being smartasses? XD I mean I guess you need to define “Illegal” but it seems like on the Internet when I read about Marijuana in Amsterdam people say “It’s illegal, but tolerated.” Technically though according to the law in Netherlands, it is only illegal to carry over 5 plants and only hard drugs are illegal. Also it is illegal to sell on the streets of course. But why do people say it’s illegal to smoke weed in the Netherlands for both citizens and tourists if there are tons of coffee shops around Amsterdam that are accepted by the government themselves? By definition, it seems pretty legal to SMOKE weed in the Netherlands, not counting how much, etc. It’s not like if a cop so you in a Coffeshop you would get fined or charged because you aren’t breaking any laws, therefore it’s legal, right? If something is illegal, it means it’s prohibited and you are breaking the law by doing it. Why do so many people say weed is 100% illegal in Amsterdam then?
