Not my place, friend of mine, just let me know in time. Amsterdam isn't that terribly expensive as some say though, it's packed with cheap hostels and restaurants, expect to spend 100 euro a day or so.

Well watever when i finally get out there we're still gonna chill, burn a L, maybe play some EB and go see the sights. and then we'll burn another L or 3.

In Amsterdam I think the use is just condoned..it´s not really legal.

now over here possession for consumption is indeed de-criminalized...

now...another question...which one of these birds is from Amsterdam?

I've had a similar experience.

Edit: Post doesn't make sense since there is no picture.

Cultivation, even if for personal use, is still totally illegal and cultivation of even one plant is assumed to indicate involvement with trafficking. Possession of seeds is also illegal and despite there being several "head shops" or "grow shops" in Portugal, they are not allowed to sell seeds. It is also true that the number of grow shops has increased over the past few years, which seems to indicate that cultivation for personal use (in Portuguese: auto-cultivo) is becoming a more common practice. There is also a forum, named hortadacouve, formed by people who cultivate for personal use.

It is very common in Portugal to see young people smoking in concerts and other party areas. There has also been, in the last decade, an increase of cafés where it is possible to smoke, although it is never an "open" experience, because there is still a lot of intolerance to public consumption of cannabis as a day to day practice.

The 2006 Global Marijuana March (Portuguese: Marcha Global da Marijuana) was celebrated for the first time in Lisbon and in 2007 both Lisbon and Porto celebrated it.

So it's legal to posses it, but the process of growing it isn't...
Over here sale and possession are openly tolerated and condoned, but growing it isn't either - the current policy seems to assume that coffeeshops can magically generate new stock whenever needed.

What's the reason why marijana and hashish are treated differently in Portugal?

Drives the tourists just as crazy. Sort of a biscuit, crunchy wafles with lukewarm mollases between it. Not my thing I don't like sugary food the proper thing to eat when visiting Holland is a herring or you have never been really here, it's a test of faith.

I'd eat the herring! there's not much food i don't like, i'll even eat brussels sprouts if they are cooked right.

In america we have this thing called a Boardwalk Sandwich,(because they serve them at the shore) it's kindof a Thing here in New Jersey, you take two waffles, hot out of the iron or toaster, drizzle a little chocolate on them, and put Neapolitan Ice Cream on one and Smash the other waffle down on it.

The combination of hot waffle and ice cold ice cream is the epitome of win.

For the best coffeeshops, prices and quality of weed, go to the outskirts of Amsterdam, or to Rotterdam, Utrech, Leiden or the Hague. Central Amsterdam coffeeshops are tourist traps.

Also another thing to make it all cheaper is to take a tent and camp. There are lots of campsites around Holland.

Campsites are pretty expensive, in a country like the Netherlands people pay good money for a little bit of quiet. Totally agree with not buying weed in the centre, should be tourist common sense. Haarlem is very close to Amsterdam, greatlooking town, good coffeeshops. Don't skip the red lights destrict, it's the prettiest part.

There is only one coffeeshop that i want to visit in Amsterdam and that is the GREY AREA, because it is owned by american Expats. I hear that the Grey Mist Strain that they carry is very good as well.
