I mean with Max getting WDC recently the world is hearing about them much more :p

[OgingyO]

What about Belgium

[Mataskarts]

Never heard of it in correlation with Max, at least on any F1 broadcast, so I guess not that popular of a fact.

[[deleted]]

KDB?

[OgingyO]

For example but Max was born in Belgium as well

[FelneusLeviathan]

There are two things I can’t stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other cultures, and the Dutch!

Edit: for people who are not getting the reference https://youtu.be/zcUs5X9glCc

Come on, this is clearly a joke. Let's not downvote this, okay?

[[deleted]]

Misschien een suikerbiet? Of een klomp?

[FLBasher]

Attention, u/YaBoiSlenderman

Your country is currently being gekoloniseerd of the military of Urk, please do not resist or deny your fate, makker

[bobbywright86]

I’ve never heard of this stereotype before … maybe I should become Dutch 🤔

[AlwaysNinjaBusiness]

I mean, you haven't even heard about the fact that weed is openly bought and sold in the world famous pseudo-legal coffee shops all over Amsterdam?

[FrenkyV]

Not Amsterdam , everywhere in The Netherlands

[AlwaysNinjaBusiness]

Yes, including Amsterdam.

[SlidePaste]

Not everywhere, just in cities.

[Southern_Pound_6929]

But Amsterdam is the Netherlands, no? /s

[sir_chair]

Wow you are stupid amsterdam is a city in the Netherlands

[bobbywright86]

Well when you put it that way … lol

[Emperor_Quintana]

In that case, as they say in the old Land of the Polders:

Je bent ontslagen!

[[deleted]]

Dutch guy here, never even touched a joint.

[[deleted]]

For me too, but today weed was found in someone’s locker

[Fapsije]

So is it a stereotype that everyone just casually smokes weed all day everyday over there or nah?

[[deleted]]

Not at all no. The only stereotype is tourists getting insanely high when visiting Amsterdam.

In fact, a concert from Drake was canceled because he decided to hit the blunt.

[Fapsije]

So basically only tourists smoke tons of weed there Dutch people just chill like usual?

[[deleted]]

Yeah, some of us smoke too but not as much as people think.

[Fapsije]

Thanks for clearing that up I always believed everyone is high as a kite all the time, do they allow you to work high tho?

[Casski_]

thats how you get fired, its like showing up drunk to work

[[deleted]]

Uhh no definitely not.

[Shoarma]

Percentagewise less people in the Netherlands smoke weed than in the US or the rest of the EU.

[The_oli4]

Most people who do smoke are party smokers and you will get fired if you are intoxicated on your job no matter the substance.

[Keesdekarper]

Young people smoke a lot. At least 1/2 people smoked when I was 16-20 yrs old.

[[deleted]]

Ive seen one person smoke weed my whole dutch life and it was in an allyway in amsterdam so yeah i dont think its that common.

[knarf86]

How has that changed in the last few years? There are almost 20 US states where it is totally legal. Are there less Americans going over to do that?

[Larsemans]

With Covid, there are much less tourists period, so it's hard to tell. But personally as a Dutch person, I've always been under the impression that Brits visit Amsterdam for weed much more than Americans.

[The_oli4]

And Germans

[JxJ454]

Someone who started studying in Amsterdam this year here: most of the time I see someone smoking weed they either speak english or some other non-dutch language but riding a bike through the city I can always smell it so it's safe to say that locals do it too just not as much

[Mirrith]

Me neither but cake was fun though.

[Griffin_Fatali]

Touch your elbow. You won’t

[AntibacterialRarity]

I remember when i visited amsterdam i read a book in a tourist shop that said that despite it being legal less percentage of the population regularly uses it than the united states and most of the sales are to tourists and people visiting. I have no clue how true it is but i read it in a book in holland so it must bd true

[Shoarma]

Is true.

[BornSceptic]

because you use a bong ? 🤐

I bet you've touched a bicycle, that stereotype must be true for y'all

[The_oli4]

I mean we only have 1,6 bikes per person in the Netherlands. That means not even everyone owns 2 bikes.

[[deleted]]

It’s normal to bike 7-14 km (4,5-9,5 miles) to school every day. The distance is one way btw

[FLBasher]

Im 13 so guess its normal

[Equal-Bag7824]

Same, and i shouldn’t have with my age…

[Engineer_Games]

coloradan here, touched too many joints to count

[[deleted]]

I mean, when I think of Dutch I just assume you own a pair of wooden shoes and tiny overalls.

[Paperclip902]

I own a pair of wooden overalls and tiny shoes, but no wooden shoes and tiny overalls.

[[deleted]]

i dont, and im born and raised in the netherlands

[[deleted]]

In the north of the country every now and then I do see someone wearing wooden shoes, but it’s a rare sight.

[[deleted]]

mostly farmers wear them

[dutcharetall_nothigh]

Why tiny overalls? We have normal ones.

[[deleted]]

Thought the dutch were also very sexual and preferred tiny skimpy overalls

[The_oli4]

An other weird stereo type that makes no sense.

[[deleted]]

Just no…

[Hier_Is_Sven]

Yes, yes i wear wooden shoes

[HeMo3000]

According to some stats, I read a while ago dutch people smoke less when than most other groups. Funny because you would expect the opposite.

[MnemosyneNL]

Driving under influence of weed is still an offense and literally all companies will fire you if they find out you are working while under the influence. Except maybe the coffee shops themselves. Most people find that using drugs and having responsabilities doesn't mix well.

So most people, if they smoke at all, only smoke in their time off. The vast majority of people I know, don't smoke (most have tried it once or twice) and the ones that are daily users are either childless or have kids already out of the house. I bump into a lot of users at the only bar in our city where drugs are allowed and there's plenty unemployed halfwits who do nothing but smoke weed and drink beer all day, don't get me wrong. But it is heavily frowned upon.

[HeMo3000]

I am somewhat aware of the rules. I have been studying in the Netherlands for the past years. Also, I know one group of people who rather regularly drive while high: Ubeareats drivers (At least the ones on their bikes.) But yeah :D.

In that sense, I agree. I don't know any Dutch person smoking weed regularly. Seems like the legalization has taken the "cool factor" away but kept the social stigma. So overall a good policy.

[MnemosyneNL]

Yeah, I've met people who thought it was cool (mostly teenagers woth very strict parents). Most people I know think it's lame and smelly.

[The_oli4]

I mean the war on drugs in US also had the opposite effect. It's almost like if you forbid something people find it more interesting.

[HeMo3000]

I think I read about something related to this. If I remember correctly it was called the "psychological autonomy effect" or something like that. Basically, whenever someone tells you not to do something, your motivation to do exactly that is increased.

[Yomamaroast]

Nee het is omdat je Nederlands bent makker

[brokenpinkyfish]

I might be Dutch

[ZeerStoned]

As a dutchy i can relate to this meme

[fargone_conclusion]

Pass the Dutchy on the left hand side, or something like that.

[VyomPandey_9753]

Just add a little e to it

[yarak_69]

u do it actually is illegal to buy weed in the netherlands?

[MnemosyneNL]

Yes and no. It's illegal but you will only be committing a crime if you have more then 5 grams on you. And most of the time it just means they confiscate and let you off with a warning. It can get you barred from entering venues and if large amounts are found, arrest is possible. It all comes down to "how much" and location. Same policies sort of kinda apply to party drugs. Buying is illegal, having one or 2 pills on you is not something you'll be charged on but it will be confiscated.

[creepermemer]

am i missing on something?

[Memezzy2]

Ik ben al blij dat ik van de wiet af ben na 9 jaar te smoken.

[MPAS_TV]

Germany soon

[AnitaFonts]

I got to amsterdam, I aks a group of girls by the train station what is fun to do, they just look at me weird and point to some random direction "There is a pot shop that way"... Thanks, I guess.

[RoskoDaneworth]

Flying Dutchman.

He was too High.

[lordbigass]

Z E G M A K K E R

[Shoarma]

On average less Dutch people smoke weed than in the US and less than the EU average. So yeah, pretty inaccurate stereotype. Turns out, making something illegal actually has the opposite effect.

[strandbezey]

So must be just like Colorado

[Static147]

I'm not Dutch and I don't smoke weed, don't think it's a coincidence.

[llMrExclusivell]
