Hey, Johnny, tell me. Some people who I know in Europe that have visited Amsterdam say the locals really don't frequent hash bars very much, that it's really the tourists who go there. Is that true? Do many people over there use it?

Just curious as to what it's like in a legalized situation.
Yeah, you see a lot of tourists in the coffeeshops, people from France, Germany, England, basically every country in the region. Dutch people go to the shops a lot too, but i have a feeling it was more popular back in the days when it was still illegal. People got used to it being legal i suppose, and somehow it takes the excitement away for some. But that's just me guessing here. There's also a lot of people who go to a shop just to relax, play some pool, backgammon or lay some cards, without touching anything. But tourists come to the shops with only one intention, that's true.
