Rick in Amsterdam

Rick in Amsterdam
Sep. 8, 2010
Rick arrived in Amsterdam at who knows what time. He lost his internal clock somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean.

This was Rick's first time in Amsterdam — his first time ever abroad even — and the international flight was not the kind, gentle lover he had hoped to pop his cherry. Regardless of his less-than-perfect flight, Rick was beaming. He couldn't help but be anxious to partake in the city's most prized characteristic: the legal status of marijuana.

The concept alone was just amazing since it's vilified so harshly in the States. And not only was it legal right across the pond, but it was actually celebrated! Now, Rick didn't really even smoke pot, but you know what they say: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. And when in Amsterdam, smoke a ton of pot and get really, really stoned. He was pretty excited.

Almost immediately upon exiting the hostel where he was staying, this real slick dude with an accent approached Rick and asked "Do you wanna hookah?" Rick might not have been an avid smoker, but he knew exactly what hookahs were. In the States, they're an exotic way of smoking flavored tobacco, but when you're in a country that allows you to freely smoke marijuana, it's pretty much used exclusively for that. So Rick was pretty excited to be asked if he wanted to hookah. Or at least that's what it sounded like he said. What the man actually said was "Do you want a hooker?"

Rick failed to realize pot wasn't the only thing legal here.

Maybe it was his excitedness to do something that was only legal outside of his country, but Rick was completely oblivious to the fact that this guy was a pimp and he was luring in a potential customer. His flamboyant clothes and cane should have been a giveaway, but Rick really wanted to get high, so he heard what he wanted to hear. Maybe it was the accent, who knows. Trying to be cool, Rick enthusiastically said back to him "Sure! Flame it up and gimme that hose!" Bad choice of words.

And that, boys and girls, is how Rick lost his virginity.

JUST KIDDING! He lost his virginity way before he fucked that prostitute.

Share the love!

Just so you know, not everyone in Amsterdam smokes weed, so the "When in rome" line is false. I did laugh though.

Pot isn't legal in the Netherlands. Most tourists get this wrong. It's only "tolerated".

However, prostitution has been legal since 2000 in the Netherlands. Before, it was just "tolerated" as well.

Are we supposed to understand that toleration is the first step towards legalization?

Pot is legal in Amsterdam... It's legal for it to be sold in small amounts in marijuana cafes. Although it's actually illegal for these places to buy the pot to supply to customers, which is kind of a contradiction but, well, I guess that's the "tolerated" part.

Sorry for the anonymous posting but Twitter is lame.

I always thought Amsterdam was in Belgium, but I guess Holland needs more than windmills!

My teach went to Amsterdam last summer and he asked a police officer about it and the police officer said that Marijuana was only tolerated...its like you smoking a cigg in public or drinking.. they said as long as you aint carring around a trash bag full of the stuff you wont get arrested cuz then your spotted as a drug dealer...

Seriously, how can so many people get it wrong? Oh yeah, they are quoting 3rd hand information as fact. This *is* the internets, I have no idea why I was remotely surprised.

Cannabis use IS LEGAL in Holland. It is, however, restricted. The cafes all have special licences, and you can't just walk around any cities smoking away, you have to smoke on the correct licensed properties.

What is not legal but tolerated are class A drugs in certain parks, however that is changing due to the huge increases in crime rates around those parks.

There's no way I can say this without sounding like an english teacher so here goes...

Sorry to shit on your parade but you've started several sentences with 'And', I feel let down, considering the topics you cover, that you haven't adhered to normal gramatical constraints... On the plus side, your sense of humour still gets me.

Yours sincerely,
El Polizia Gramatic

Yeah. So, you spelt 'Grammatical' and 'Gramatic' (Or maybe it should be 'Grammatical'?) Isn't even a word. English should have a capital 'E'.
