I’m from Amsterdam, and see people get high all the time.
Wanted to add there’s a difference between high (euphoric, excited) and stoned (slow, but happy). Hollywood movies just use these terms and their effects interchangeably, even though they’re complete opposites and caused by different kinds of marijuana.

Probably the worst offender is Afroman in his song “because I got high” even though he’s acting stoned.
