Is there no legal drinking age in amsterdam?
At 16 you can purchase wines and spirits but they have to be less than 15% alcohol content From 18 you can then purchase 15% and higher Simple answer is that no drugs are legal in Amsterdam or the rest of the Netherlands (laws are made at national level and Amsterdam is not an exception to the rest of the country) Sales of marijuana are ‘tolerated’ under certain conditions: – no more than 5g per person may be sold in any one transaction; – no hard drugs may be sold; – drugs may not be advertised; – the coffee shop must not cause any nuisance; – no drugs may be sold to persons under the age of 18, nor may minors be admitted on the premises. Hard drugs are absolutely not tolerated and are acted upon stringently. By tolerating marijuana, resources can be targeted to hard drugs. EDIT – @surething – well as with most myths, rumours and unsubtatiated answers on here, you “hear” wrong! Prostitution is legal which means that it is not the ‘big deal’ like it is in countries which pretend it doe
