VINCENT
Okay what d you want to know?

JULES
Hash is legal there, right?

VINCENT
Yeah, it s legal, but is ain t a hundred percent legal. I mean you can t
walk into a restaurant, roll a joint, and start puffin away. I mean they
want you to smoke in your home or certain designated places.

JULES
Those are hash bars?

VINCENT
Yeah, it breaks down like this, okay: it s legal to buy it, it s legal to own
it and, if you re the proprietor of a hash bar, it s legal to sell it. It s
to search you. I mean that s a right that the cops in Amsterdam don t have.
