JULES — okay now, tell me about the hash bars?VINCENT What do you want to know?JULES Well, hash is legal there, right?VINCENT Yeah, it’s legal, but it ain’t a hundred percent legal. I mean you can’t walk into a restaurant, roll a joint, and start puffin’ away. You’re only supposed to smoke in your home or certain designated places.JULES Those are hash bars?VINCENT Yeah, it breaks down like this: 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 legal to carry it, which doesn’t really matter ’cause — get a load of this — if the cops stop you, it’s illegal for them to search you. Searching you is a right that the cops in Amsterdam don’t have.JULES That did it, man — I’m fuckin’ goin’, that’s all there is to it.VINCENT You’ll dig it the most…Pulp Fiction (1994)
