i was going to this finally in my life this year but now due to dissapointing news about amsterdam.. i can't... not fair and y has all this happened..
what news? the coffeshops not serving tourists?
here is good news for all the cannabis connoisseurs who like to visit Amsterdam and enjoy the wide variety of weed and hash that is available from the Dutch capital's many coffeeshops. The Dutch Tolerance Policy, that provides the legislation under which the Dutch coffeeshops can operate, will be renewed from 1st July 2011 and will be valid until June 30th 2015.
This means that the feared 'Weedpass', a card only available to Dutch citizens that would factually ban foreigners from buying marijuana at coffeeshops, can only be implemented through local legislation. Since City Councils like Amsterdam do not want the Weedpass scheme and local politicians such as the Mayor of Haarlem have said they do not want it either, it means it will not be possible to implement for at least 4 years during which visitors from abroad can still freely and openly buy hash and weed from Dutch coffeeshops.
I dunno what the hype regarding A'dam is all about...IMHO all well over rated! (and expensive)

Well, the hype is about the possibility to buy and consume it legal. Which is quite rare. The quality has been getting worse and worse and prices go up, but that is just the fault of the masses storming into the city and buying anything for 15€/g because its called haze
I always thought USA was much more expensive than Europe for sense? Shops have been increasing their prices a lot lately, and in general prices have gone up because there is a lot more demand but I still think 5-7,5 €/gram is a fair price for outdoor/8-10 weeks herb and am reluctant to pay more.Just remember, there's better herb in California
The Dam is fun though, but very expensive.
Hell, better herb pretty much anywhere than what you'll find in the shops over there. Never been but I know plenty that have.
Go to a heady part of spain or portugal.
