Re: Slightly philosophical/legal question
I found some info on the legality of the stuff:
[b]In Nederland is het bezit van marihuana niet legaal, maar wordt bij justitieel besluit van 1976 niet vervolgd in hoeveelheden lager dan 30 gram.
In vrijwel geheel Nederland verkrijgbaar in gespecialiseerde coffeeshops, soms in kroegen of bij huisdealers. Prijzen vari?ren van 7 tot 20 gulden per gram, naar gelang de kwaliteit. Coffeeshops mogen sinds 1997 maximaal 5 gram per transactie verkopen. [/b]
Translation in short: Posession is not legal, but under 30 grammes there will be no prosecution. Since 1997 coffeeshops are allowed to sell quantities up to 5 grammes per transaction, no more.
I don't know if the prices are right, they're still in guilders...I think my friend pays about ?12,50 for maybe 2 or 3 grammes, I don't know. In some coffeeshops there's 'double day': you pay the same as usual, you get twice as much :wink:
