It comes as no surprise that in many places in the Netherlands you're allowed to buy and smoke marijuana and other soft drugs. And you may have also heard that dealing or possessing hard drugs is forbidden. You can be arrested for it and punishments are no laughing matter. Soft drugs are sold exclusively at so-called coffeeshops so don't buy them on the streets. These products are often uninspected and may be adulterated with unknown rubbish. Again, dealing is forbidden. Stay wise and limit yourself to the coffeeshops and get high responsibly.
