When I first arrived in NL and my husband and I would visit Amsterdam he'd ask me "Do you recognize that smell?"
Now, I led a pretty sheltered adolescence. I didn't party, I didn't do drugs. To this day I have not tried any drugs that either weren't available OTC or did not come with a doctor's prescription. (For those that can be pedantic, I'm not including alcohol). So, whenever my husband would ask me that question I wouldn't even know to which smell he was referring.
I guess I've made enough visits to Amsterdam because marijuana is now the ONLY thing I smell when I'm visiting. It doesn't even have to happen when we walk in front of a pot shop. A group of people can pass us on the sidewalk and there is the unmistakable smell of pot. It's a wonder I don't get a contact high when I'm there.
I guess I shouldn't complain too much. It definitely beats the smell of old dog poop on the bottom of my shoe. 😉
