Recently a talented Bournemouth television production team visited Amsterdam to ask the question, how long will cannabis remain legal in Amsterdam?
Coffee shops frequent the streets of Amsterdam, but dissimilar to the UK and many other coutries in the world they are permitted to sell cannabis.
Marijuana, weed, hash, pot, reefer, grass, dope, ganja, Mary Jane, whatever name you know it by, under Amsterdam law, a person is legally allowed to buy five grams of marijuana and carry up to 30 grams. With the average gram of hash priced at around €6, according to online travel guide Time Out Amsterdam, a steady inflow of tourism supporting the cannabis industry is unsurprising.
But how do the citizen of Amsterdam feel about the haze of cannabis use in their city?
Legal in Amsterdam (2013) was produced, filmed and edited by Bournemouth University Television Production students: Scott Craig, Hannah Hussey, Tyron Porter, James Rogers, Josie Dudley, Diamond King and Mia Konstantinovaite. I provided the voiceover.
Give it a watch to hear intriguing debate on the cannabis culture in Amsterdam...
