Walleee Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Most places will ID you if you act your age.Act a bit more mature and you might be lucky enough. It's not really a good idea anyway because in effect you are making criminal's of the dealer's and shopkeeper's, they have enough hassle as it is without supplying underagers. You'll get ripped off too if you don't know what to look for and how to ask.Enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 You pretty much will get ID'd unless you look a lot older than you are. I get ID'd all the time over there (then again I dont look my age)A couple of years ago the story was that the police are actually trying to shut down the coffee shops, so if they get caught with underage people in them they get shut down instantly, and never reopen - so theyre pretty uptight about ID.Either way you will have fun though, its impossible not to.Tip of the day: dont look at, talk to, respond in any way to anyone on the streets trying to get your attention. Totally blank them, the second you even look at them they'll latch on.. but you'll learn that pretty quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) I currently live in Leiden ( a few miles from Amsterdam ) and go to Gangsterdam quite often , usually to accomodate U.K friends who come over . First thing I wanna say is : why always Amsterdam ? Sure it's a famous international city , but it's so damned tourist oriented ( fake + expensive ) and not at all representative of Holland as a whole . Go to Amsterdam centre and you'll find nothing but tourists lookin' for hash and whores .Check the Dam out , but if you're here for a week or so stay in a smaller town where these things are also available , but in a safer way , without masses of tourists and garish , shouty advertising . As for cannabis and coffeshops , if you wanna get ( kinda stoned lookin' ) try T H E S E places . Act mature , ask for the " menu " and enjoy yourselves . This a very sophisticated place , unlike many low budget , dark , techno playing shitholes I've sat in . Have fun , if you bring your bikes and wanna hook up for a ride like Bikedock's Gary did , P.M me .

poopipe Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Why does going there not appeal to me at all?? probs cos im not to fussed bout weed.could be that - are you into van gogh ? theres a lovely museum all about him too. I went over again last March (hadn't been for about 5 years) and because I'd calmed down on the whole ganja thing it seemed like any other capital city - in that you get ripped off for food, beer and drugs. as far as the ID thing goes. the manky little coffeeshops will probably be fine serving underage people - much like the manky little off-licenses are over here. Taking your own weed into coffeeshops never got me in trouble - for the most part their main business isn't selling ganja, it's selling coffee, cakes and hot chocolate (hence the term coffee shop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enchanted broomstick Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 phidentityErrm might be worth a look in your situation? My mate who is 18 just got back from there about a week ago, hmmm white widdow sooo tasty. Anyways his girlfriend is 16, so needed some source of ID, which is where this website come into play. Its alright because your in a different country and its quite easily blaggable.But i was told they are being a little more strict on the ID situations over there then they were last year.Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Racist? How the feck is that racist? He's not exactly going to say "there were 50 year old whites with their tats out" if they weren't even white! Idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 How is it though? He's not exactly going to lie. If there were 50 year old blacks with their tats out then that's what he's going to say, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flange Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 My mate, who happens to be black, finds the term 'blacks' derogatory - think about it, would you stand in a crowd of people from varying origins and refer to them as blacks? Plus, look at the context he's written it in. Read it into it whatever you like, I personally think he could have worded it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I give upI'm obviously from a school of political correctness that doesn't exist outside the relms of Suffolk - carry onNext up, Auschwitz, its not all bad......So i guess it's not black board either, 'cause you know, i'm well trying to insult a person of different colour when i refer to the board i write on in class. Nor is it black bin bags either, as you know, i'm again insulting people of different colour.Get over it.If i got called white, so f**king what, i am white. Get over it. What he said was in no way racist. At all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
