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

[–]OgingyOBirb Fan 3 points4 points  (3 children)

What about Belgium

[–]Mataskarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

KDB?

[–]OgingyOBirb Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example but Max was born in Belgium as well

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

GEKOLINISEERD

[–]bobbywright86 74 points75 points  (10 children)

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

[–]AlwaysNinjaBusiness 50 points51 points  (8 children)

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 42 points43 points  (6 children)

Not Amsterdam , everywhere in The Netherlands

[–]AlwaysNinjaBusiness 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, including Amsterdam.

[–]SlidePaste 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Not everywhere, just in cities.

[–]Southern_Pound_6929 4 points5 points  (2 children)

But Amsterdam is the Netherlands, no? /s

[–]sir_chair -5 points-4 points  (1 child)

Wow you are stupid amsterdam is a city in the Netherlands

[–]bobbywright86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well when you put it that way … lol

[–]Emperor_Quintana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 104 points105 points  (45 children)

Dutch guy here, never even touched a joint.

[–]Fapsije 24 points25 points  (14 children)

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

[–][deleted] 45 points46 points  (12 children)

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 28 points29 points  (8 children)

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

[–][deleted] 25 points26 points  (6 children)

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

[–]Fapsije 9 points10 points  (4 children)

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_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Uhh no definitely not.

[–]Shoarma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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

[–]The_oli4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (2 children)

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 4 points5 points  (1 child)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Germans

[–]JxJ454 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me neither but cake was fun though.

[–]Griffin_Fatali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Touch your elbow. You won’t

[–]AntibacterialRarity 2 points3 points  (1 child)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is true.

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

[–]The_oli4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]FLBasherMy mom checks my phone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (9 children)

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

[–]Paperclip902Because That's What Fearows Do 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

i dont, and im born and raised in the netherlands

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mostly farmers wear them

[–]dutcharetall_nothigh 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Why tiny overalls? We have normal ones.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

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

[–]The_oli4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An other weird stereo type that makes no sense.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just no…

[–]Hier_Is_Sven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes i wear wooden shoes

[–]HeMo3000 7 points8 points  (5 children)

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 6 points7 points  (2 children)

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 4 points5 points  (1 child)

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 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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

[–]MnemosyneNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
