To counterspeak a popular misconception: weed isn't exactly legal in the Netherlands. Not in Amsterdam, nor in any other part of the country. It's merely gedoogd, which means the following: You may own a small quantity for personal consumption, but you may not grow it. Licenced 'coffeeshops' are the only ones who may sell it, again only in small quantities. Now where those coffeeshops get it is a big mystery (allright, we all know where they get it, but the government pretends that they don't), because even they aren't allowed to grow any.

That is something similar to the ACT which I live right next to if memory serves me right.
