and not about amsterdam on the street
Yeah it's getting
too the coffee shops
without going through the streets that's the hard part.
And it's not just Amsterdam* either, it's just the same in Den Haag, Haarlem, Leiden, Utrecht, Groningen.....junkies and dealers everywhere.
See, out in the 'burbs (Rijswijk, Amstelveen, Vinkeveen, etc) where the local gov doesnt allow coffeeshops you dont see the junkies either.......coffeeshops on the borders of these areas (like, for example, Coffeeshop "The Border" on the edge of Amsterdam - Amstelveen) tend to be junkie free.....and yet still the Dutch police will raid them looking for underage smokers.....
One of the few coffeeshops I've seen without an unhealthy number of very unhealthy people around is in Delft.....but that one is next to a Turkish fast food booth which is almost as bad.

* Amsterdam has more coffee shops per square foot than any other town or city in NL - considering it's the capital that's not surprising.
