    Well I grew up in the suburbs, where it isn't that much in common. It plays a more prominent feature in the "bigger" cities. The Dutch drug policy is actually quite loose - the law says it is illegal to deal and possess softdrugs, but it doesn't say anything about using it - which "legitimizes" coffeeshops being existent. Hard drugs is illegal by definition, and so it is banned.

    Currently, the Dutch parliament is voting against the "discrimination" against foreigners wanting to use softdrugs at the coffeeshops, by enacting a rule coffeeshop owners are required to ask a Dutch Passport/ID, to diminish the amount of drug tourists along the border (especially along the Belgian border in the south). The so-called "Marijuana/Weed Pass" system, enacted few months ago in the southern provinces will probably be abolished, as this featured a similar way (Only Dutch users could require such pass, the essence is the same), now we get a new government installed next Monday. The bigger cities hate the system anyway, since it flocks tourists.

    Coffeeshops are widespread in the bigger cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. Law states coffeeshops may not be opened within a 500m radius of a school (as a kid noticed that, stating that "sir, we need to close some schools!"). Myself, I don't really like it - especially when someone is smoking it on a railway station and the wind scatters the smell throughout the entire station. And yes ,I often find some mini-bags with a weed logo on the streets, indicating someone used marijuana .

    Tourists on bikes in Amsterdam are already a problem -- you should take care upon crossing the street, some of them are incapable of steering/using a bicycle in the first place - Stoned or not stoned. It wouldn't be my first time I almost got run over by one. Helmets are not obliged in here by the way.

    I believe two years ago an Australian guy died in Amsterdam as he jumped out of a window on the 2nd or 3rd floor when he smoked way too much marijuana and ate too much magic mushrooms as he was hallucinating too much (which kinda spurred the debates on whether drugs should be illegal etc.). I feel sorry for the person he jumped on - he/she died as well...

    Haha, yes and I live in a mill too .

    Nah, j/k, we don't. Only farmers wear them so now and then, if it's seeding or harvest time, since the soils are often muddy and soggy .

    I introduced Kevin Rudd to LOLCATS with my entry into his t shirt campaign competition.

    He posted a video of him and his campaign team going through the entries.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxiqS...youtu.be&t=33s

    He then later posted this on facebook.



    My work here is done!
