Sorry for you, but for weed in Amsterdam you need to be 18 at least.

And you can not bring anything home from the Netherlands, even when you could get your hands on some.
When you travel by Channel tunnel you will have to pass customs and passport control at Brussels, (if you travel by train,) or at the entrance of the tunnel, (if you travel by car) and in both cases they will check for drugs.

If you travel by car and you are found with drugs, your parents are responsible, and might face jail sentence in France or Belgium.
Not worth it.

And at 14 you have to be real careful what substances you use and how much. (Even if you insist on using weed, do it where you know what you are doing, weed in Amsterdam is stronger than weed at home, most likely at least, and might not be a good idea. More brain damage at your age.)

You are taking a big big risk if you bring it here, there are sniffer dogs at customs & security points who will identify it straight away & you will be in serious trouble. It is not worth the risk.
My Advice - don't do it & that's it

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING ANY WITH YOU!!
It might be somewhat legal in the Netherlands for adults, it is not legal to transport it out of the country. Don't be foolish, your not smarter than any border agent, and know matter where you hide it
a drug sniffing dog will find it. Not worth your freedom...

Don't be stupid. If you get caught, you will be done for trafficking drugs. Have a bit of sense.

No. I don't think it's legal to transport it. You'd look guilty, so they would search you, and probably throw you in some sort of Juvvy hall. Besides, it isn't actually LEGAL, even in the Netherlands...they just don't ordinarily prosecute anyone for possession of small amounts. People just don't understand what the law is.

1.You can only be 18 to buy weed from coffeshops
2.You cant transport drugs from one country to the other.

if you're thinking of going to usa or some other countries for a holiday 1 day,forget it because they will not let you in.tell you.re mate to go himself. **** for brains

The coffee shops where you can buy it will not sell it to a 14 year old.
Re bringing some back. Dream on! If it was so easy there would be a lot more people doing it. Sniffer dogs are a strong deterrent.

Don't buy weed, it is illegal and when I was 14 the last thing I wanted in life was to be sent to Juvenile prison.

don't be silly

if you need to ask this then u need to rethink going there

Lets set a few facts straight.

Cannabis use and possession in Netherlands is illegal.

It is tolerated.

In licenced coffeeshops only under strict STRICT rules.

You must be over 18 with valid photo ID and they are no fools either to be tricked by the public nor prosecuted and swiftly closed down by dutch police.

Cannabis in Netherlands is not necessarily stronger it is just well grown and harvested by discerning people.
It is natural harmless and non addictive.

Cannabis does NOT cause "brain damage" or anything similar whatsoever whereas it is widely known and medically proven that alcohol and tobacco most certainly do. Both are addictive and shorten life.

The only brain damage is the ignorance about cannabis instilled by alcohol and tobacco revenue reaping governments elsewhere.

Any cannabis purchased in Netherlands and at a maximum of 5 grams per person should STAY in Netherlands and only be consumed in licenced premises or private homes. Full stop. So when you do become of legal age if you use it there leave it there. All of it !!!

The only thing to be taken from Netherlands regarding cannabis may be knowledge.

People trying all the stupid ideas that you and some others have mentioned here are assuming nothing new at all and are threatening the valued privileges users enjoy and intend to maintain and protect.

Netherlands and cannabis users do not want an ugly vile scene to develop like that of uk's 'booze' and knife gang crap.
Nor to have their well grown herbs mixed into the utter dung that is on the streets in britain.

I wouldn't have to guess far in saying that you are british.

If you do not respect these rules and ethics. Stay away.
