Amsterdam coffee shops are famous, but not for their coffee. The CD-ROM The
Amsterdam Marihuana Guide (Homesoft, Haarlem, fl79.95, PC/Mac) explains what
they are for, and supplies addresses. It’s a playful disc with surprising
historical facts (George Washington apparently grew his own), information on
health aspects, growing the stuff, sex when stoned and whatnot, in audio, video
and text. Smells a bit like propaganda, but still smells OK. Overseas orders go
to Computercollectief, Amsterdam, Fax (31)20-6226668 with credit card
details.
