Netherlands' coffeeshops and expensive hobbies
Lately I have been frequenting a certain coffeeshop in Maastricht. Coffeeshops in Holland are joints licensed to sell weed. These coffeeshops can sell weed but not alcoholic drinks. It is funny to see guys puffing away on their joints while sipping Fanta/Coke.
I have this new found friend who can't do without weed. It is sad. He is addicted to that stuff, he says he needs it so that he can relax, otherwise he really has to think alot. Like who doesn't think alot? His hobby doesn't come cheap either. 1 gram of this stuff goes for anything between 5-9 Euros. We all know that one gram is nothing, the maximum you can buy at one go is 5 grams. Since this buddy buys only the best quality, he usually parts with 45Euros each time he goes to get his *medicine*. The five grams don't last long, so in a week he makes 2 trips to Maastricht - a two hour return drive.
When I think about the amount of money he spends weekly on weed I think of other ways he could use the money. Like buy food for himself - his fridge is always empty and then he has the nerve to say he is broke?????!!!! The guy is not a youngster by the way....he is in his early forties, I thought when you get to that age you are usually wiser. Now you see what drugs do to you.
