[–] ajoebyanyothername@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) This story speaks very much to the contrary. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Endorkend@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago The issue isn't the weed, it's the quantity. They won't do anything for 5 grams which is obvious for personal use. She was purportedly caught with 30+ grams in her luggage. And weed is not legal in the Netherlands. It's under "gedogen" which means the sale and use at point of sale which are very specific types of shops and growing a quantity for personal use" and carrying on you a quantity for personal use (5 grams) are officially overlooked, while still illegal. Carrying around quantities that are more than would be for personal use while not being a permitted point of sale is still something you can get arrested for. permalink fedilink source parent [–] stoly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago This story is an anecdote. As the person below says, it was the quantity that was at issue here. permalink fedilink source parent
