I'd heard that things were changing in Amsterdam so you wouldn't be able to smoke as a tourist
having just read up on it from what looks like a legit source of info, that would appear to be nonsense.

Pfft
they'd never be so stupid as to do something like that to their tourist revenues. And when last I went I was very well behaved; we just got giggly in the back of the coffee shop and played card games. Some of the locals even commented on how nice we were.

yeah, it sounded unlikely to me
they also say that if they did that it would attract more attention and get more of their young people doing it.

I was well behaved last time I was there too. Got nicely wasted in a coffee shop then went for a walk along the canals.

there is a smoking ban now isn't there?
so it's harder to smoke I think. but it must still be possible in the coffee shops somehow

They have sensible govt
So the smoking ban doesn't apply in coffee shops. Or most bars tbh.

we asked about smoking baccy in spliffs last time we were there, and the woman in the coffee shop just said do it in the rooms upstairs.

not the price of beer
admittedly this was in the Grasshopper by the station, but three large Heinekens cost 18 euros

What you've done there is go to 'Leicester Square', 'Las Ramblas', 'Champs Elysee' etc etc

yeah I know
but I was waiting for a train, had some gear to finish and wanted to go to a spacious bar with hot bar women

It does
They do provide some alternative 'filler' for your joints. However, I was talking to the manager at the Rockerij and he said it was impossible for them to police whether you used tobacco in your joints or not. His advice was to keep your tobacco in your pockets rather than on the table, so if someone did come around checking they wouldn't notice.
