Public smoking or having a few grams of weed won't get you into trouble anywhere, also in France and Spain who have a reputation for tough police they will just take it from you, dealing it is another matter but so is it here. The Netherlands is no drug-paradise it only has the name really, a brand to lure tourists.

Ah well they didn't find it too funny really. Smoking weed outside normally shouldn't cost you, but they do confiscate it and stuff.
But then again I even puked on a policemen's shoes ones and got a way with it. It wasn't really intentional of course, but I was just drunk as hell. Ah you gotta love college!

You shouldn't buy any weed in a city like Rome, or any city you don't have connections in for that matter. They just go to an alley or something out of plain view, wait for you to take out your money, then they grasp it, take their knives out or just plainly run away. In fact it's better not to even buy weed on the street at all. Weed from the street is usually junk anyway. With chemicals and glass on it.

This isn't true.

The UK police are fairly unconcerned about personal possession. They can give you a fine or a caution. Often they just tell you to keep it in your own home.

French police are far more severe.

Spain you are allowed to grow a certain amount yourself without any problems.

My bad, just parroting

JEEZ! I know weed can have chemicals on it, and that is pretty easy to detect because you will know that it doesn't smell right but, glass!? Dealers in the US would call you a scumbag for doin that to someone.

This kind of crap is why it should be legal. I don't care if someone is against pot, you should at least have the common sense to realize that it is better that people can enjoy a little cheebah without it being that much WORSE due to pieces of

that do stuff like that.

I got done once, got Ferns instead, but a few other times i got some in a foriegn country and it was ok.... the worst i have had is some chalky substances in there... or sprayed with sugar...

Im fairly sure a while ago it went down to C then recently it went back up to a class B... but the punishments stayed the same...

So it was a bit of a show for the media...

Yupp small bits of glass to look like it'd have more THC crystals. It's quite bad for you're lungs but, it's not like you'll die from a few joints with the glass crystals though. It's still relatively clean compared to what people put in hard drugs.

Amsterdam is expensive as hell without the plane tickets. If you don't have a sizeable chunk of change, I wouldn't bother going.

I thought Cannabis is Class B in the UK now...Did it get reclassified back down to C?
