[as if you didn't know, we are talking about Amsterdam]
Cannabis in all its forms (marijuana, hashish, hash oil) is legal under condition of so called "personal use". Smoking of cannabis even in public, is not prosecuted and neither is selling it, although these activities are technically illegal under the still valid Opium Act. However, this practice is widely tolerated provided that it happens in a limited, controlled way (in a "coffee shop", 5 grams maximum transaction, not many portions in stock, sale only to adults, no advertisement of drugs, etc.). Large scale growing, processing and trading in marijuana is still forbidden as in any other country, but the penalties given by the courts are much lower than abroad.

But, the Dutch have not solved the question of the controlled supply
of cannabis. While large-scale growth and trade of marijuana is
forbidden and prosecuted, the question remains how the "coffee shops" all
over the country can obtain their supplies within this law.
Heck if I know.......maybe Fedex from Denver, or Portland?
