😭 what’s it like in Amsterdam? There’s definitely a lot of public weed consumption in Leipzig (both before and after it was legalized), but it really doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Well weed has a fascinating legal status where it’s both sold legally and not legal - this has been the case for a long time and I think has mostly made it very ordinary/unproblematic/uncool to the local youths (this is what all former youths tell me since a decade). However!
It’s still very cool for the youths of everywhere else, who are not very concerned with the dangers of mischkonsum. I think there is (still!) a myth of getting wasted in Amsterdam, which inhabitants of the center have very mixed feelings about.
Kinda weird that this is so sticky. Germany also has a somewhat weird in-between solution, so I guess that’s why we cannot steal all of your tourists. But at least the German ones should be gone…
