I felt the need to post this because so many people have asked me about drug use while in Europe.
If you currently don't do any drugs, you probably should not start just because you are going to Europe. Technically, even in Amsterdam, you can only smoke a joint or two INSIDE a coffee house. The authorities don't always enforce the laws, but don't think that all drugs are legal in Europe.
If you do drugs (smoke pot/take ecstasy) you will surely run across plenty of others who will share your likes (especially in Amsterdam & Ibiza), but a word of caution, MANY countries take a very hard stance on drugs and have very harsh penalties if you are caught with any drugs. This is especially true if you leave Holland with drugs on you (even just a few joints). So, if you buy pot in A'dam, you best smoke it all before you get on an international train.)
People keep asking me how to smuggle it back to the states, and I am not going to help you there. Although I have heard of ways that people have done this, I don’t think it is worth the risk, so I will not bother explaining it.
I suggest that if you are gonna use drugs, just do them as you come across them and not transport any of them with you. Some places will toss you in jail for a very long time even if you just have a small amount. Try to explain to your parents why you missed the fall semester because you were stuck in a Turkish jail.
With that said, I am willing to bet that this thread will be viewed by a lot of people.
