Cannabis in the Netherlands: A Grey Area
When I say Grey Area, I'm not talking about the infamous central Amsterdam location that is solidified in the hall of fae with its stickred adorned surfaces, no I'm talking partially the weird reality of cannabis tolerance which has existed since the mid-1970s as well as the new wave modality of licenesed governement certified legal cannabis products.
