when i was in high school (late 90s) there was a coffeeshop in Cape Town that was apparently owned by the Dutch embassy...
you could have a smoke in the middle of town without anyone bothering you. rather funny seeing suits having a lunchtime smoke or people having meetings there.
they didn't sell though, and i don't know how true/legal the "owned by the Dutch embassy" thing was, but no-one was ever arrested or searched there.
- i smoked there often whenever i was in town. right in the cbd.sine

They still have stricter laws on border cities, but unless you live in NL, I doubt anyone cares... no one comes to Amsterdam and says, "hey, let's go smoke in maastricht". There is such a tourist industry based off weed, I couldn't imagine they'd impose a ban in Amsterdam... then it would just lead to under ground trade.
