Coffeeshops in Bonaire, Curacao, Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten

Anyone know if there is any? They are all governed by the netherlands aren't they?

 

[sunnyside]

supertoker I was wondering the same thing?

I poked around a li'l bit, and while I did not find anything official, I did find this snippet in a Dive Forum:

Bonaire has strict drug laws and pot is illegal. And yes, presciptions are needed for most painkillers as you would find in the States. Actually some drugs available over the counter in the States are only by prescription here such as 1% Hydrocortizone cream.

Most islands which are former colonies, be they Portuguese, Dutch, British or whatnot, are now "protectorates" with independent governments, meaning they make their own laws but recognize the colonizing country as sovereign. Just some info

....yeah....I toked on some weed that I had got hold of in Aruba in a stop-over in Curacao on the way to Jamaica earlier this year....

.....was in some mad leisure compound full of Columbian hookers and retired Dutch growers...

 

[SuperToker]

How was jamaica?

...everyone wanted to 'Bless me Up!'....

 

[Guest]

I am from Aruba, no, weed is not legal but well tolerated, nobody gets arrested for smoking, and the most a grower caught by the law, has received up to now, for 650 plants, 225 of them ready to harvest, about 70 pounds, is 35 days in jail!

This sounds good papayadelight!
Do you have any good advice, where is the best place to stay in Aruba?

 

[stasis]

Good luck. Should have gone to the Full-on Netherlands...! But, no suntan, that way.... Look for Dreads, but lower your expectations on the quality.

St. Maarten is half Dutch and half French but no coffeeshops to be found on the island...At least that what my folks told me...

peace

I just read this post and am pretty happy to hear that there is smoke on these islands. I am getting ready to head over on a cruse of the islands and really don't want to have to carry anything on the planes. So an suggestions as to any spots to make a hook up? I am pretty good at making the connections all i need is to be pointed in the right direction.
Thanks.
