The Netherlands decriminalized possession of soft drugs in 1976. However street sales are still illegal. So-called "coffee shops" are allowed to sell 5 grams of cannabis to anyone over the age of 18.

Can kids under eighteen smoke marijuana in Amsterdam?

Well...if they can get someone else to buy it for them, then of course they "can" smoke it. However, if you are asking if it's legal, the answer is no. You must be 18+ yrs. old to buy marijuana in a coffeeshop. Although public smoking is tolerated, it is frowned upon and technically not allowed. The Dutch are particularly incensed about smoking near schools and children and laws have been strengthened accordingly. No one should be smoking pot near any schools or places where children congregate or they will probably be arrested.

Does marijuana hurt your body in any way?

There is some damage to the lungs caused by marijuana smoke inhalation. (However, note that marijuana does not necessarily have to be smoked, it can also be brewed as tea.) Interestingly, marijuana smoke has not been found to be carcinogenic, unlike cigarette smoke. However, marijuana smoke is still an irritant to the lungs and can contribute to the eventual development of emphysema.
