sorry but you lose.
Amsterdam coffee shops were legally disallowed from selling alcohol. and smoking weed in pubs was no more legal than it is here. as you would know if you had ever left your bedroom.

Sorry, it actually happened.
I thought that legally that might be the case, hence my asking.

It wasn't a coffee shop, it was a pub, and whether the guy was prepared to bend the rules because he thought our trade worth the risk, I don't know, but it's a trufax, so feel free to cry and/or tell me to fuck off.

She's partly wrong Vaggy, see below.
Haven't been there since 2007 myself though, so it might have changed since then.

That only came in in about 2007 Sidekick.
And even then you could buy dope in the Doors Cafe (A coffee shop) and then go round the corner to the Doors Palace (used to be a coffee shop that sold beer, turned into a pub when the law against selling dope AND beer in the same premesis came in), buy a cold Heinekin AND smoke your newly bought spliff in there with no trouble whatsoever. You couldn't smoke a normal cigarette indoors though.
Also, he didn't say this had happened in the last couple of years now, did he?

I've been a few times.
On the first two occasions I was able to order a joint and a beer at the same bar (in two different bars).
Last time I went (xmas last year) I saw people smoking joints in a couple of pubs, one of which I think was the arrangement stuj refers to and the other just seemed to allow it.
