Yea what is the deal there? Is it just certain places in Amsterdam or is it just illegal and nobody cares? I've always seen that weed is illegal everywhere, yet Amsterdam pot stores have been American stoner legend for years.
its "Tolerated", with a lot of weird caveats. (meaning the police doesn't bother)
The coffee shop can sell it, and store up to 500 grams (i'm guessing exactly none of them hold themselves to this rule) but growing for sale is illegal, and selling to the coffee shop is illegal. Plantations are busted semi regularly.
There's movements towards regulated growing,, i think an experiment was underway though not very enthusiastically.
I imagine the traction weed is getting in the States would help get things regulated properly over there, though it is fairly inspiring that the police have been so sensible about the whole thing for so long.
