Can you buy quaaludes in Amsterdam?

Mushrooms are no longer legal in Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands. The Dutch government banned Magic mushrooms in December 2008. Despite this ban some smart shops still sell dried mushrooms. If you are in possession of a small amount the police will not fine you. They will give you a warning or/and take you're drugs.

A good and upcoming alternative is the magic truffle, it's the little brother of the mushroom. These truffles are soled in most smart shops (and sometimes shady souvenirs shops with lousy information and bad products)

The effects of the truffles are almost the same as mushrooms (but the taste is slightly different but still a bit funny)

Hence Magic Mushrooms in Amsterdam are illegal but Magic truffles are legal.

What ways was new Amsterdam different from European settlements?

New Amsterdam, established by the Dutch in the early 17th century, differed from European settlements primarily in its approach to diversity and religious tolerance. Unlike many European colonies that enforced strict religious conformity, New Amsterdam welcomed a variety of ethnicities and faiths, fostering a multicultural society. Additionally, its commercial focus on trade and profit led to a more flexible social structure, allowing for greater social mobility compared to the rigid hierarchies often seen in European settlements. Lastly, the governance in New Amsterdam was characterized by a degree of local autonomy that contrasted with the centralized control common in many European colonies.

How do you take a bike from Amsterdam to London?

You're in for a lot of peddling.

From Amsterdam, Netherlands, your travel southwesterly toward Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais, near Calais, France. There you board the Chunnel train. This well take you to Folkstone, Kent, UK. Depart the train there and begin traveling northwest toward London.

The Amsterdam to Coquelles leg is about 231 miles.

The Folkstone to London leg is a bit over 70 miles.

If you are in good physical condition and acclimated to long range bike riding, you should be able to make almost a hundred miles a day, depending on terrain, traffic, and weather. I'd guess five days. If you aren't conditioned for long rides, I would expect two weeks to a month or more, but you will be in condition by the end of it.

some will let you some wont usually your 1 star ones are ok. And your more expensive ones no not a chance. i know for a fact as ive been that these 3 hotels allow smoking in the hotel.

Are there any bars in Amsterdam where they don't check ID I am fourteen but am about 6 foot 1 I don't want weed or anything just good old alcohol So are there any such bars or clubs?

As a person who lives in Amsterdam part of the year, I will tell you that it's highly unlikely you'd be admitted to a bar/nightclub without being asked for legal ID unless you look at least 30. The Dutch don't tolerate underage drinking or smoking of pot in the coffeeshops and there are stiff penalties (usually loss of a liquor license/weed license) in place that keep most places operating carefully.

So....my answer is "No, they're aren't."
