The Cannabis Cup takes place annually in Amsterdam
and celebrates all things marijuana related.

Amsterdam is famous for its canals, its red light district and its coffeeshops, where one can buy and smoke a wide selection of cannabis. Holland's liberal attitude towards soft drugs attracts people from all over the world, who feel that this is a place where they have a more relaxed kind of life, even if it's just for a weekend. Thousands of visitors to this beautiful city make a beeline for one of its 400 coffeeshops in order to buy and smoke marijuana legally. Dutch citizens can even mail order their weed at 24/7 online coffeeshop these days. Real freedom it is!

Cannabis Travel Security

Heightened airport security especialy in US, but these days also in Europe presents an interesting and scary dilemma for stoners. While the idea of going on vacation with no marijuana buds at all is a bummer, the idea of spending vacation or much longer time in jail is even worse. Long gone are the days of happy carefree travel.

So with an upcoming trip the time has come for a stoner to make a decision. While the old me would have packed up my marijuana buds in a luggage hideout or even be bold enough to just put it in my pocket, I now find myself leaning towards traveling bud free and staying free. Thankfully I do have a friend that lives about 2 hours away from my city of destination who will certainly be able to hook me up, so I suppose an unplanned visit will become a necessity. That's the best way to avoid trouble and refresh connections with my stoner friends. Double pleasure it is, and remember friends better safe than sorry!
